Monthly Meetings

General meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month.

We meet from 9:30am - noon at El Corazon Senior Center, located at:

3302 Senior Center Drive, Oceanside, CA  92056

Meeting dates and times are subject to change and will be posted in the Meetings & Workshops page.

Monthly Program

Each month we provide a program or guest speaker to educate our members on quilting techniques or particular aspects of quilting of interest to our Guild.

These presentations include finished quilting projects that demonstrate the techniques and special skills used by our speaker. We see new patterns, learn about color selection, and see novel and innovative quilting techniques that we can incorporate into our own projects. Many of our speakers are well known industry experts or they are seasoned quilters whose quilts have been recognized winners at quilting shows all over the country. We bring the best artists to you!

Workshops

Workshops are held the Wednesday following Guild meetings and are usually presented by that month’s speaker. No workshops are scheduled the month of major fundraising events or retreats.

Workshops are held at Quilt in a Day in San Marcos. See "Upcoming Events" below for details.

There may be a waiting list, so please sign up early. Your workshop reservation is not guaranteed until payment is received.

    Scrappy Appliqué

    Utilize your leftover fabric scraps, precuts, or any of your favorite fabrics to create a one of kind project.

    Scrappy Appliqué is a raw edge applique technique where you collage scrap fabrics to create your applique piece. This method was developed by Shannon Brinkley, an international speaker, author and designer.

    The process is quick, fun, simple to pick up, and every level of quilter will enjoy it whether a beginner or advanced. 

    Workshops teach the Scrappy Appliqué method in a fun, engaging environment where everyone will learn the skills to confidently turn any template into an original design.

    This one of a kind technique allows each person to reflect their own personality in their project by the choices made in colors, fabrics, shapes and finishing.

    So you've made a dynamite quilt, but you're not sure if you need to add a border, and if so, what it should look like.  This month's meeting is for you!  

    Join us to hear Sandy Corbin and her program, "Let's Talk About Borders." In her lecture Sandy will discuss the impact a border can make on your quilt.  You'll learn to determine whether your quilt needs a border, the different styles of borders, and how to size your border to fit any quilt.

Sharing

Members may bring completed projects to share at each meeting; there is a limit of two quilts per person. It is inspiring and great fun to see the talents of other members. Sharing forms are available at the sharing table (usually located at the far side of the stage). Each quilt will be folded and the form included. During sharing, your photo may be taken. Please let the Guild photographer know if you prefer to not be photographed.
