SCVQA continues to welcome an exceptional group of guest speakers. One of the many benefits of membership is the opportunity to take workshops from top quilters in the industry. SCVQA members get priority for workshop participation; non-members are invited to sign up if the workshop has not filled 30 days prior. Workshop prices vary by instructor and reflect actual costs.

    This workshop is all about learning to make a simple stitched map of a place that is special to you – WHERE YOU LIVE. To make this map, you will use of simple hand & machine stitches combined with silk organza, opaque fabric, and a bit of paint. 

    Also covered, will be how to use the internet to find maps that will serve as your starting point. As we go along, you will see the potential of variations on the techniques I will teach you. This workshop may inspire you to make a collection of personal stitched maps. Really, the possibilities are almost endless. Upon completion, you should have a lovely little work of stitched art.
