Mary Jo & I have had so much fun this year with all you workshop ladies. Because of the joint efforts of Rena Hernandez & Carrie Suggett of Programs, we had the great fortune to learn from some incredible instructors. Just know that Carrie has worked hard to set up a fantastic new group of instructors for next year's workshops!
Thank you all for your support & for sharing in the fun. I know I have learned a lot from the instructors and from working with all of you. Cheers to you amazingly talented ladies -- Mary Jo & Kris
We have just been given permission to provide you with information
about the January 2024 Workshop!
We are thrilled to announce that Anne Sonner will be presenting her workshop on Photo Transfers! This is your opportunity to learn how to incorporate photos into your quilts, and get quality results. Please note: Anne will not be teaching a specific quilt design at this workshop. You will need to have an idea in mind for a small quilt or pillow top project that you'd to add a photo image into. In order to participate in this workshop, you'll need to send Anne your photo by December 27th, 2023 so that she can print them onto fabric for you! You'll then work with that image during the class. Images can be sent to Anne at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Anne will do any photo editing, enlarging/cropping your request of your submitted image, and print them using pigment inks. During your workshop, you'll learn all the steps Anne uses so that you can do this at home moving forward. You will bring your sewing machine, fabric for the quilt design/project of your choice, and all your regular quilting supplies.
Included with the workshop is one sheet (per person) of photos transferred onto a 8 1/2 x 11" piece of fabric. You want to choose images that have good contrast and high resolution. Anne recommends choosing one large image or two 5x7 images for this project. Smaller images are possible, but details get lost on fabric if they are too small.
We encourage all of you to register for this workshop asap...there are only 22 spots. Please be sure to remember that your image(s) needs to be sent to Anne by Dec. 27th. Additional sheets of printed photos can be purchased for $10 per 8 1/2 x 11" sheet (payment can be made at our Jan guild meeting for these extra prints). It is going to be a fantastic workshop to start off our 2024 offerings. Grab a friend and join in the fun!
