Workshops are offered several times each year. MPQG’s goal is to offer members unique opportunities to learn new techniques and improve their quilting skills with some of the top local and international quilt teachers. Space is limited (generally 15-20 participants) and workshop attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis. Workshop prices vary by instructor and reflect the actual costs.
Registration
-
Registration for specific workshops will open at the Guild general meeting approximately three (3) months prior to the class. Following the general meeting, on-line or mail registration is available. Members (including Board members) may not sign up for workshops until all members have received an announcement of the workshop.

Payment in full is due at the time of registration.

Workshop fees will be higher for non-members.
Cancellations and Refunds
-
Full refunds will be provided for all workshops cancelled by the Guild.

Pieced Curves and Play with Transparency
Are you intimidated by curves but love precision piecing? Start the Cool as a Cactus quilt in class, featuring pieced curves, a unique border treatment, and color palette that features
transparency. Class will begin with an exercise in creating transparency effects, then we work from paper templates to accurately cut and piece large diameter curves. Learn to cut
and precisely piece large-diameter curves from templates, assemble a quilt top with pieced borders, and plan a color palette that includes a transparency effect. Leave class with at least one block and border complete.
Cost: $65 for MPQG members
Students must purchase the digital pattern from Karen
