Getting back to basics virtual quilting workshop

LACONIA — The Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild will host a virtual workshop on Getting Back to Basics on Saturday, March 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Whether you're a beginner or experienced but wish to refresh basic quilt techniques, this is the class for you.

Several spaces still remain, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Quilt teacher Patty Sawyer of Maine will share the basics in pressing, piecing, binding, bordering, squaring, blocking and more, with an emphasis on accuracy for a better, happier, end result. Participants will make a simple scrappy table runner and will practice some great tips and tricks; guaranteed to reap rewarding and near perfect final results.

This 4-hour workshop will be held via Zoom and can be taken from the comfort of your home sewing space. Non-guild members may register on the guild’s website, bmqg.org. On the left side on the home page, you will see menu items; simply click on “workshops” and a descriptive page pops up, complete with a link for registering for this workshop. Fill out your information and copy the mailing address to send your check. The mailing address is on the sign-up page, and also on the bottom of our website’s Home page.

Pre-class instructions will be sent to participants once sign-up is done, but registration is complete only when your check is received. Optional kit is available for a fee. Limited to 24 students.

The Guild is supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
