Exploring creativity through quilting

Workshops 


Workshops are a favorite benefit of CCQG membership.  Exposure to new techniques is inspiring.  You can meet a world-class textile/design instructor in a small in-person or virtual group setting.    You will leave energized from the creative and social workout.

Workshops for the  entire year are typically listed on the website in January and registration opens at that time. 

Need to do some shopping for supplies for a class?  Check out the Resource page to locate a local retailer.   

No workshops are held in June-August, and December.

Review the Workshop Policy before you register.

    Block of the Month (BOM)

    Mystery Christmas Quilt 

    This Block of the Month Mystery Christmas Challenge will run for 12 months, April 2025 to March 2026. Each month you will be given a focus fabric and a block pattern.

    How it works:

    • At the guild meeting each month you will be given a mystery block to complete for the next month. 

    • If you complete the block your next pattern is free, if not you owe $1.00.

    • Your focus fabric must be included in some blocks.
    • This is a good time to use up all those Xmas fabrics.
    • We are suggesting a red, green and white color palette but anything goes.
    • Don’t need another Xmas quilt, choose a different color palette such as fall. We suggest a three-color palette to build on.
    • To participate, the initial registration price will be $15 to help cover fabric and pattern costs.

    Join us for some fun!

    Applique 3 Ways with Audra Rasnake 

    Audra is a fourth-generation quilter and grew up literally underneath a quilt frame. She’s been hand quilting for 30 years and has been doing needle turned appliqué for 20 years. She considers herself a traditional quilter. She began teaching hand quilting, EPP, and needle turned appliqué about 10 years ago and then, in 2014, decided to enter the world of competition quilting. Audra has won many ribbons at national shows since then, many for her hand quilting. One of her greatest passions is folded cutwork. She uses appliqué in every quilt she does. Audra enjoys helping beginners overcome their fear of the dreaded “A” word. 

    This is a two-day workshop.  On Thursday, Audra will teach French Boutis in the morning and needle turned applique in the afternoon.  A day long workshop on Friday, will consist of creating a Celtic Applique piece. 

    Supply list is to come. 

    In addition to your sewing supplies, bring your lunch and/or snacks to share if you feel so inclined.  

    Due to the cost of this talented and accomplished instructor, the price for this workshop includes 3 workshops over a 2-day period.  The fee cannot be divided.  You must pay the entire amount, in order to participate in one, two or all 3 workshops.  

    If you have any questions, please contact Chris P.
