Workshop - Class Opportunities

 For members of Sarasota Modern Quilt Guild, two opportunities for quilting classes have opened. First is through our sister guild, South Sarasota Modern Quilt Guild…(remember that awesome virtual lecture with Charles Cameron last year? Here’s a virtual class with him.)

I am in charge of education for S2MQG.

I would like to share information for an upcoming Zoom class with Charles Cameron, on Saturday, October 12, from 12:00-4:00PM.

Class fee is $40, plus a required pattern purchase and some homework in advance of class. 

We would like to open it up to your membership. 

If you could please share this information during your next meeting and post it on your website.

All information can be found on our website under the “CLASS” link.

Thank you for your time and help,

Nancy Larkin

And the second virtual class is from the Central Florida Modern Quilt Guild…

Central Florida Modern Quilt Guild has 14 openings in a virtual workshop. Your members are invited to join us!


Speed Date With Improv - Krista Hennebury @poppyprint
Saturday, November 2
10 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time
Non-member fee: $65

Think of this class as speed dating with improvisational piecing techniques that include curves and free-cutting. Several techniques are introduced and demonstrated one after the other with little time to second guess, stress or obsess over perfection. Every student will end up with a unique, original improv 20” x 20” sampler quilt! The focus here is to explore line, shape and happenstance in abstract design, to keep things simply graphic by using solid-colored fabrics in black, white and one pop of color. In the afternoon, Krista will share design wall tips to jigsaw the improv elements together, seeking balance and creative design opportunities. Some pre-cutting is required.

Supply list available upon verified registration.

Indicate your registration intention by emailing: centralfloridamqg@gmail.com with your name, email address, phone number, and MQG chapter affiliation. Then, mail $65 check (no online payment system available) payable to “Central Florida MQG” to:

Ardie Wood
3526 Yates Ave.
The Villages FL 32163

Thanks for sharing this with your members!

We'll stay after after the meeting on Saturday and sew two types of improv blocks using 2023 gifting fabric.  All fabric and instructions will be available - just bring your regular sewing items (machine, rulers, rotary and mats.) 

New to modern and improv?  This is your chance to give it a try! 

Fabric will also be precut.  All you need to do is design, sew and trim to block size!   Let's see how many we can accomplish! 

You may bring a guest/sewing buddy - just please RSVP so I know how much fabric to cut. 

RSVP on Groupworks or for guests through the contact form on side bar of website.
