| Date | Instructor | Project / Suppy List | |
| June 12 | Linda Sullivan |
ColorBugs and Curves - Two techniques in one workshop! In part one, Linda will guide students through her liberating and fancy free slash ‘n sew improv technique while making cute colourbug blocks – no ¼” seams to follow, no rules and stress free piecing. Next in part two, she’ll guide students through sewing perfect curves with her handy tips and tricks - after a few practice blocks, students are guaranteed to conquer their fear of sewing curves with no tears. Both techniques come together in one workshop while working on this cute ladybug quilt! |

| July 10 | OCQG | Philanthropy Workshop - No Fee. Come join us for part of the day or all of the day to sew quilts, etc. for kids and veterans! | |
| Aug 14 | Leah Zieber | Orphans and Aliens - Creating Quilts From Space Junk - This NEW workshop allows students to rid themselves of all those orphan blocks and UFO's (aka - those Aliens living in your closets) and create a truly UNIQUE and wonderful quilt - large or small. Each student creates a one-of-a-kind quilt and finally leaves a workshop with a finished top! | |
| Sep 11 | Nancy Ota | Sashiko - This is a hand embroidery technique that can be used in quilts and garments. | |
| Oct 9 | Rami Kim | Octagon Play - This workshop is a sweet revenge to high-school-geometry classes (remember the days of hair-pulling?). You are going to have fun folding octagons with beautiful fabrics. One more 'Chopkey' project from Rami's childhood memories will put a smile on your face. Perfect for stashed scraps and fat-quarters. | |
| Nov 13 | Susan Wade | Adventure in Fabric Collage (Fish) - If you loved to color, cut and paste as a little girl, you will love this class! Using Free-style fabric collage, we will create a wall hanging anywhere form elegant to whimsical in style... it is all about you!!! | |
