WORKSHOPS 2024-2025
Your Journey to Quilting Mastery Begins Here!
The Annapolis Quilt Guild offers several workshops each year, covering a variety of techniques and projects. We strive to bring in widely recognized instructors while keeping the cost to attend affordable. Details on class fees, supplies and any pre-class preparation are noted in each workshop description.
Workshops are generally held on the first Monday of the month, with the workshop presenter giving a related lecture at that evening's guild meeting. Workshops may be held in-person, at the Severna Park Community Center, or via zoom.
Workshops are open to non-guild members for an additonal $10 fee.

Indi-Go-Modern
November 4, 2024
10am-4pm, zoom
The lure of indigo is strong — the classic blue and white combination found in many Japanese textiles is cool, crisp, and so appealing. This is the class to use all those lovely blue and white shibori fabrics or any other carefully curated blue and white fabrics from your stash. Each participant will develop a simple geometric block design based on unfolded origami shapes, set a theme and create variations, and combine them into the beginning of a fresh and modern mini quilt top. Easy to advanced variations available!

Alice Ridge
Mock Molas & Sashiko
April 7, 2025
9am-3pm, in-person
Two handwork classes that explore unique needlework styles but are easy and relaxing to do! Sashiko is a traditional Japanese needlework technique that is easy to do and offers endless creative opportunities. Traditional molas from Panama are beautiful, but require layers of fabric and small, detailed stitching. Alice created this class to modify the Traditional Mola by using Felt to make a project that keeps the style and colors of the original, but is so much easier and faster!
