Workshop Offerings
For more information about any of the workshops/events or to register for one, please email Cheryl Goldenberg [email protected]
All Guild 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.
Workshop: October 10th A workshop will be offer with Betsy Habich on Thursday, Oct 10th entitled on Thread Painting.
I do hope that everyone will also enjoy the lecture and learning about Thread Painting. The title of the lecture on Wednesday, October 9th will now be “Thread Painting: It’s All About the Details.” The workshop on Thursday, October 10th will be “Thread Painting, 101.” The subject choices are pictured below: Hibiscus, the Bluebird of Happiness, and a NEW OPTION of using your OWN photograph!!
The two options above are to be purchased from Betsy's Etsy Shop, (see link below.) Each is $20 and Betsy will bring yours to our workshop, already printed on fabric and already made into a quilt sandwich.
Thread-painting gives you the freedom to make a very realistic, tapestry-like image entirely with thread, using a free motion zigzag and straight-stitching. Starting with your own good-quality photo (please, no faces), we will explore ways to create color combinations and textures to transform it into a realistic 8 1⁄2” x 11” thread painting. You will be amazed by what you can do!
Important Note: students are asked to send me their proposed photo no later than October 2, eight days ahead of time for approval, possible editing, and printing. I will bring the printed photo to class made into an 8 1⁄2” x 11” quilt sandwich along with two color copies of the photo for color and line studies, and a second thread-painting sandwich warm-up exercises.
Kit/prep fee for this option: $25/person.
Please contact Cheryl Goldenberg of the sign up link.
Once you register AND I have confirmed your seat, please go to Betsy's Etsy shop to select your favorite pattern, if you choose not to send your own photo. Each pattern is $20.00 and your selected picture will be printed on fabric, and made into a quilt sandwich, which Betsy will bring to the workshop. I will send the remaining supply list out in plenty of time; most, if not all will likely be in your stash.

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.
