Workshop Offerings
For more information about any of the workshops/events or to register for one, please email Cheryl at [email protected]
Most of the Guilds workshops are held in person, most often at Belknap Mill, 3rd Floor, with the exception of three Zoom workshops during the months of January, February and March, due to unpredictable winter weather. This also gives us the exciting opportunity to hire quilt teachers from California and even Australia, with whom we would otherwise never have an opportunity to take a class.
Participants will be sent an online link to sign up for workshops, and will complete their registration
by sending a check for the workshop's tuition to: BMQG, P.O.Box 6174, Laconia, NH 03247
Please note that according to Guild Policy there are no refunds unless the class is cancelled or if the participant can find another member to take her seat in class.

e's coming BAAACK!! One of our most popular teachers, David Sirota, will return to teach us his latest quilt design, "Shoulda Zagged." (Formerly called "This, No That" on his website.) This pattern was inspired by a simple border design, and enhanced by David to be a quilt. Blocks will be 8' by 8", and the finished quilt will be 38.5" by 38.5". David loves the simplicity, dimensional effect and the graphic look of this pattern. The wonderful part is that this quilt will be made by using David's own copyrighted paper-piecing technique, "No More Tears"© Method. This class is great for all levels of quilters, including (and especially) those who've never paper-pieced before. It's fun for quilters new to the process and also for former students who would like a refresher on this clever paper-piecing technique.
Color choice will help make the magic, as David's instructions to students will explain: This workshop will be held on Thursday, May 15th at the Congregational Church on Veteran's Square (where our Sit n Sews have been held) from 10:00 AMto 4:00 PM. The tuition for this class is $40.00. Based on the last time David offered to teach this technique, we had a record-breaking 42 students register, and I do expect this class to fill, so don't delay signing up if you want a seat! There will also be a $5.00 Pattern fee payable in class to David. Tuition is to be made out to BMQG, and sent to: BMQG, P.O. Box 6174, Laconia, NH 03247 The deadline for receipt of checks is April 15, 2025. |

The August Program with four separate, half-day workshops on Fiber Arts (not quilting) was very well received. The workshops on making a rope bowl, wetfelting a scarf, making a zippered bag, and demonstrations of weaving were all presented by four guild members sharing their knowledge.
