Central Oregon Classes

We are so lucky in Central Oregon! There are so many quilt shops that offer classes of all kinds. This time of year is the best for classes! We have teachers from all over the country (and world!) coming to Central Oregon to teach at the different shops.

Here are some links. Feel free to comment if you hear of a great one that I haven't included here.

Stay tuned for some WIP wednesday posts about projects we've made in classes. One of our members is registered for Jacquie Gering's class during Quilter's Affair. Can't wait to see what she makes!

PMQG Meeting

The Portland Modern Quilt Guild October meeting just happend to fall during MQX.   I had the opportunity to go to the meeting and wanted to share some of the meeting with you.

 

Angela Walters was the presenter and it was especially fantastic because I was able to take a class from her earlier that day.

 

 

She learned to quilt from her husband's grandfather and like most of us didn't really know what she was getting into.

 

 

Angela focuses on machine quilting.... and is full of encouragement. 

 

Angela uses designs like the one above to try out new designs because if you don't like it, it is only a small part of the quilt..... what a great idea!

 

I first checked out her book from the Deschutes Public Library....

 

 

After a few days I knew I would regret not taking her class while she was in Oregon...

 

 

Don't forget to check out Angela's new book will be out soon.

 

 

 

Angela also teaches classes at Craftsy..... and sent me with a little info I'll bring to the next meeting....

So, check out her class..... but don't sign up for it until you come to the meeting.
