    What is a sew-in and why would I want to attend?

    Sew-ins are a great opportunity to connect with fellow guild members, both new-to-you folks and long-time friends. Our virtual sew-ins are drop-in and informal; join when you can and leave when you need.

    Sew-ins are filled with learning opportunities.

    • Watch how other folks do things. 
    • Ask for quilting tips and tricks. 
    • Solicit advice and feedback.

    What do I do at a sew-in?

    Sewing is optional at sew-ins. Or, choose anything to work on – machine work, hand work, ironing, cutting, choosing fabric, organizing, cleaning your work space, or starting to think about your next project. Come, listen, share, and learn.

    When are the sew-ins?

    Monday

    7PM - 9PM Pacific time

    What if I want to go to more than one sew-in? 

    Fantastic! Join as many as you would like.

    Since the same Zoom link lets you join all the sew-ins, it’s not necessary to re-register, but you may find it helpful. Think about the registrations as signing up to receive a reminder email.

    Morning Class:
    Exploring English Paper Piecing 
    10am - 1 pm - Saturday 9/12

    $55 members*; $65 non-members   *includes $10 kit fee
    Have you always wanted to try English Paper Piecing (EPP) but didn’t know where to start? Or you've made a few hexie flowers and are ready to use a new shape?

    Try a little of everything EPP has to offer in this fun and exploratory beginners class! We’ll cover all the basics of EPP, including fabric selection, basting, stitching. We will explore the world of precut shapes, while designing and stitching your own small EPP block! You can try all of the different thread, needle, and glue options that are available, so when you leave, you’ll know exactly what to stock your EPP kit with! Get your creative juices flowing with this hands on, low stress class.

    SUPPLY LIST

    - Scrap fabrics: Our completed blocks will finish no larger than about 8" square, so your scraps don’t need to be large. Just bring a variety in case inspiration strikes. Charm squares work great or other scraps around that size. Bring extra if you want to try fussy cutting your pieces.

    – Fabric scissors

    Optional: Magnifier

    Note: I will be bringing each person an EPP kit (included in the class fee).

    This kit includes: A needle, thread, glue stick, sewing clips, mini thread scissors, and all of the EPP papers you will need.

    Meeting room at Greenwood Library

    8016 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103

    10am-5:30pm

    Come help fellow guildies finalize our Community Outreach Challenge for QuiltCon 2027! This year’s theme is half-square triangles (HSTs) and we've chosen to make an improv quilt representing Seattle's quirky gum wall in Post Alley. Seattle MQG members have been busy making improv HSTs and HRTs in a bold color palette.

    This is the second of two sew-ins. We will continue where we left off from the first session where the HSTs/HRTs were arranged on the design wall in a pleasing composition. The ultimate goal is to have a finished top by the end of the second session. All are welcome to the sew-in, whether you contributed HSTs or not.

    Please bring:

    • Sewing machine with grey or neutral thread
    • Scissors or rotary cutter
    • Cutting mat (optional)

    We'll provide the design wall, large cutting mats, ironing boards, and irons.

    This sew-in is open to all library patrons. Drop-ins welcome.

    This event is NOT hosted, sponsored, or endorsed by The Seattle Public Library. Any views that are discussed in this meeting are not a reflection of The Seattle Public Library’s views.

    About the    Speaker:   

    Artist Statement:

    I'm Steph, the creator behind all things Bookends Quilting. I've been quilting since I was 18 after my best friend suggested we make quilts before heading off to college in the fall. I was immediately hooked and purchased my own sewing machine shortly after. I've been making quilts for the past 13 years now and I still love it just as much as I did then.

    I dabble in other arts (painting and drawing) and crafts (building furniture), but there's always been something about a finished quilt that gives me all of the cozy feels. Especially since I can snuggle in with a quilt and read a book, which is also a major hobby of mine.

    Special Guest: Patty Murphy (presenting via zoom)

    TopicZero Waste Quilting  

    Zero Waste Quilting returns to the heart of the craft by encouraging mindful consumption, honoring the tradition of using leftover scraps, and embracing the creative power that comes from working within constraints. With limited sustainable options currently available—mostly organic goods or up‑cycled materials—this approach offers a practical path forward by helping quilters use new materials responsibly and ensure every bit of fabric has a purpose. Through intentional buying, thoughtful stash use, strategic augmentation, and waste reduction, students learn to design purposefully, curate meaningful projects, and make every stitch count while bridging the gap between creativity and environmental consciousness.




    About our Guest speaker:

    From childhood hours spent watching my mom sew to discovering quilting as a teenager, textiles have been the constant thread running through my life. That journey led me to write Piecing Makeover, The Perfect Piecing Pocket Guide, and Zero Waste Quilting, a reflection of my commitment to both craft and sustainability. Fabric has always been home for me, and it continues to shape everything I make.

       Instructor: Kimberly Bennefield/NW Pepper

      Class: Quilted Sneakers


      Join Kimberly and begin your journey to becoming a true Cordwainer!

      In this workshop, we will work together to create a new pair of sneakers, using a sneaker kit. Your sneakers can be built using quilted fabric, leather/suede, vinyl or any material you feel you can work with to cut into a pattern and sew onto a sole.

      We will trace the pattern, cut it out, punch holes for the soles and for the laces and finish with a brand new one-of-one made by you, pair of sneakers. This is typically a full-day (six hour) workshop, intended to provide enough time to complete a pair of sneakers if that is the student’s goal.

      You will have to purchase your size in the sneaker kit, which includes a pair of soles, insoles and a free pattern, which you can access online or included in the kit. There are at least 6 style options to choose from (in the online version), including a couple of sandal like patterns for the summer.

      See more student examples here.

       Special Guest: Laura Hartrich (presenting via zoom)

       TopicLabels as a Love Letter

      In this presentation Laura will talk about how labels factor into quilt making practice. She will share lots of images as I discuss technique, inspiration, and motivation for creating labels as detailed and unique as quilts themselves. 






      About Our Guest Speaker: 

      I’m a fiber artist who works 
      primarily in quilts—some created as heartfelt, well‑loved gifts meant to be used, washed, squished, and taken on picnics, and others made as art pieces exploring reflection, acceptance, time, and memory. I live just outside Chicago with my family and recently began my career in occupational therapy, a field centered on the meaning found in everyday activities. That lens shapes my work, inspiring quilts that examine daily patterns, routines, and experiences; by making the personal public, I hope to spark connection, commiseration, and a bit of humor.


       Workshop Offered?: Yes: Label Level Up + Embroider Your Handwriting (In Person!)

       Instructor:  Laura Hartrich

      ClassLabel Level Up + Embroider Your Handwriting


      Creating a label is an important step in the quilting process. Labels provide documentation and preserve stories that could otherwise be lost. In this workshop students will consider both content and technique for labels.

      Students will learn about various techniques to make a label in a range of simple to more complex. They will spend time drafting labels for current or future quilts, working in small groups to encourage and inspire each other. Students will learn that labels can be as unique as fingerprints, and be empowered to find a style that works for them. 

      In addition, students will learn to use their own handwriting as a template for embroidering text on any project, including labels.



      Skill Level:
        

      Some embroidery/hand stitching experience is recommended for this course. 


      Supply List
       [download]:

             Special Guest: Karen Bolan (presenting via tbd)

             TopicSee Color In a New Way

            The opportunity to play with color has drawn people to quilting for generations. Whether using intuition, color theory, or simply what we have on hand, we have all developed color palettes for our quilts that speak to us in some way. What are they saying? In this trunk show lecture, explore different properties of color and see them in action. Follow Karen's journey as she seeks to understand color and how to use it for the biggest impact.


            About Our Guest Speaker: 

            Karen Bolan is a quilter in Santa Rosa, California. She is drawn to the layers of design and expression possible in quilting, and she loves the learning that comes from experimenting. Her designs are out of the box, and integrate a love of geometry, experimentation, interconnection, depth, and texture. Her work has been featured in numerous magazines including recent features in Quilts Japan, Make Modern, and the QuiltCon Magazine, and her quilts have been exhibited at local and international shows including QuiltCon, Pacific International Quilt Festival, and the de Young Museum. Learn more about Karen’s work and quilting travel experiences by visiting her website at www.KarenBolan.com.

            Class: Special Effects with Color


            Journey into color mastery by creating illusions and tricking the eye. Color is one of the most exciting things about quilting, and yet it’s easy to feel unsure about our choices.By understanding how we see color and then creating illusions with color, students can develop color confidence and giddy enjoyment.

            In this class, learn to define and use basic color theory terminology; apply the principles of additive and subtractive color as they relate to vision, light, and the physical world; create mutable color illusions; create a color palette with afterimage effects; and create transparency illusions including a complex transparency illusion with more than two overlapping shapes and textures.

            Class will begin with lectures, demonstrations, and exercises, then students will sew a sampler block.



            Skill Level:
              Everyone!

            Participants should know the basics of quilting, such as cutting, sewing a straight line and how to operate their sewing machine.

            This class will require:

            • Sharing fabric
            • A sense of play!


            Supply List
             [download list here]:

            REQUIRED:

            • Fabric

            Bring 10-20 different solid fabrics, one 5” square or strip of each color, in a variety of different colors including lights, darks, mediums, bright colors, greyed-out colors, browns, and everything in between. 

            Don’t try to find only colors you like; even the difficult colors will be useful here. 
            Don’t bring anything precious; your colors will join the “community” pile to use during class, and you will not be taking home what you brought (you will be taking home your exercise sheets and sample block).
            • Sewing machine in good working order, and your favorite sewing notions.

            • Rotary cutter, cutting mat, and 6” square quilting ruler (the size is not that important; bigger is fine too)

            • Fabric Scissors

            • Glue stick

            • Pen or pencil for taking notes

                  cutting fabric, binding, quilting lap‑size or smaller quilts, piecing, and handwork are great options. Bringing 1-3 projects to a sew in can provide creative variety

                  • Snacks! Lots of options nearby for dinner, coffee, or bring your own meal in. Food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed.

                  • Your Guild Name tag and friendly vibes!


                  Parking:  

                  Carpooling is encouraged!

                  Connect with members on our discord server to coordinate!

                  Parking tips:

                  For evening meetings, there is parking in the lot at the station and across the street in two directions. There is a big flight of stairs from the lot to the room, but next to the stairs is a great ramp.

                     Special Guest:  Émile Trahan (presenting via zoom)

                     Topic: Quilt As You Grow

                     In a talk she calls “Quilt as You Grow”, Émilie will share what inspires her and walk us through her design process, in the hope of sparking our journey into quilt improvisation.


                    About Our Guest Speaker: 

                    I cut fabric and sew it back together, an improvisational, self‑taught practice that began in 2013 during a year of upheaval. Rooted in quilting’s origins and shaped by environmental values, I work entirely with upcycled materials, making new from the old. Quilting is my way of exploring connection—heritage, the present moment, and the intangible—while translating ideas of time, the universe, and the unseen into abstract, tactile form. Color and shape are my poetry, improvisation is my joy, and play keeps the work light. By day I’m a palliative care physician, a perspective that naturally threads life and death through my quilts.


                     Workshop Offered?: No



                    Additional Happenings at this Meeting:
