Sat, 26 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Reston QU Class - NH Beauty

Who: Dave Sirota of Quilt Maven Dave

When: September 26; 10:00 - 4:00

Where: Zoom!

Cost: $45 per student, including the pattern

What:

Are you curious about paper piecing? Do you and paper piecing already have a love/hate relationship? This class will make paper piecing a love/love relationship. The New York Beauty has always been a very popular pattern. But why call it NY Beauty when I live in NH? So, we’re making the NH Beauty wall hanging. We’ll not only be using my “No More Tears” © method of paper piecing, but we’ll also tackle curved seams. They are easier than you might think

We probably won't finish the entire project in class but you'll have all the tools you'll need to finish it at home.

The finished piece measures 24" x 24" without borders.

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Class fee of $45 - includes everything you need for

project. All you need to bring is your scissors!

Nicki will teach you the basics of a fiber landscape - with a

twist!

The entire project will be completed in a hand embroidery

hoop. She will display how layering fabrics of different

color, size, and value can result in a dimensional art quilt.

Basic embroidery stitches will be used to secure the

landscape and add texture. The hoop acts as both a tool

to keep your fabric pieces tight, and a frame from which to

hang the finished project.

Be forewarned, these are addictive!

SQU Catherine Redford VIRTUAL: trunk show The Language of Flowers (October 20, 2026)

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

SQU is hosting Catherine Redford on October 20, 2026. From catherineredford.com: My lecture, The Language of Flowers,...includes a wide variety of quilts featuring flowers, many of which are beaded and em bellished. Learn the meanings our ancestors ascribed to different blooms and consider why the giving and receiving of quilts is so special to many of us. Quilting is a choice and as such I think that all quilters have the right to choose the elements of their craft that bring joy to them. There are always parts of our lives that we just “have to do” in pursuit of our long-term goals. It’s the same when we quilt. I al ways encouraged my children to try a new vegetable but could accept that there were some that they would never learn to love. I encourage my students to try all the processes involved in finishing a quilt but accept that there will be some people that find their joy in making tops by machine whilst others enjoy handwork and still others love to machine quilt. That’s OK! That’s where teamwork comes in and there’s a whole community of quilters out there willing to help.

VQU-Design for Realism with Kestrel Michaud (speaker virtual over Zoom) (October 20, 2026)

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

https://kestrelmichaud.com/

The first step of creating fine art is to create “good” art, and good art starts with good design. But fabric is not a traditional fine art medium. The challenges faced by quilters when creating realism-style art cannot be solved in the same manner as an artist using traditional medium. This lecture is focused on incorporating principles of good design into art quilt layouts with the intent of creating a realistic piece of art using fabric as a medium.

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Maria Spetalnik, owner of Conquer the Clutter, will conduct a workshop to make a scrap quilt Table Topper called "Order and Chaos".

Class fee is $35.00.

See picture and supply list. Read the supply list carefully. If using your own fabric, you may pre-cut your 2" strips. Using a very colorful fabric will give the look of many fabrics used. Select a background that will contrast nicely with your colored fabric(s). Your strips will be cut again when in class. You will also need 2" fusible grid. Half a yard will be enough. A 15 x 15" square will be used in the project. Maria will have fusible grid available in the class for $12.00 if needed. Or, Maria will bring a few complete kits for your convenience, which contain the fabric and fusible grid needed for the Table Toper. Please reserve your kit in advance by contacting Julie Riggles. There is a limited supply and the cost is $35 for a kit.

The class will cost $35.00 for members.

If you have questions, please email Julie Riggles jriggles42@gmail.com.

Jan Doyle is a media personality with her own show, Wyse Talk, on cable and YouTube. Jan has appeared on Good Morning CT for three years with Classroom Connections, taught elementary and high school, and loves to travel.
