Quilt for Democracy Challenge (Mon, June 01, 2026)

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Quilt for Democracy Challenge

From June through August, our LAMQG Challenge will be contributing to The Quilt for Democracy.

An excellent way to begin this challenge is to participate in Lorraine Woodruff-Long’s Workshop Express Yourself! Creating Text for Quilt and Fiber Projects (June 13th, 10am-4pm). More details about this workshop are below. Sign up today!

Quilt blocks should be cut to 13” x 13” which allows for a ½” seam allowance.

When sewn using the ½” seam allowance, the actual finished block reflecting our image/message will then be 12” x 12”.

This 12” x 12” area will reflect your design and message.

Express Yourself: Creating Quilt and Fiber Art Projects with Lorraine Woodruff-Long (Sat, June 13, 2026)

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Express Yourself! Creating Text for Quilt and Fiber Projects

Saturday, June 13, 10am - 4 pm, Santa Monica Joslyn Park Auditorium

Learn how to create and use custom applique lettering in your quilts and sewing projects. From the sweet to the shocking, using text to express your creativity adds a personal touch to your quilts. Great for expressing everything from “Happy Birthday” to “Smash the Patriarchy” - just make it yours! What will YOU say?

Participants will learn how to plan, trace, and cut detailed letters using standard alphabet templates and fusible paper backing on fabric. Learn how to plan, center, layout and iron your text to a quilt or pillow cover, and finally, learn how to sew/secure your custom text to your quilt using your sewing machine to ensure it stays put.

Improv Mosaic 1.2.3. with Lorraine Woodruff-Long (Sun, June 14, 2026)

Improv Mosaic 1.2.3

Sunday, June 14, 10am - 4 pm, Santa Monica Joslyn Park Auditorium

Learn the concept of building an improvised mosaic quilt using improvised log cabin blocks at ratios of 1:2:3 (Large: 3, 6, 9” blocks; Medium: 2, 4, 6” blocks; or Small: 1, 2, 3” block). In this workshop you’ll create an Improv Mosaic 20”x20” or 24”x24”-sized pillow or wall hanging using the “Medium” scale blocks (2, 4, 6”).

Participants will leave with a pattern and the skills to build a larger throw or bed quilt. This is a fantastic process for using scraps – even the smallest pieces!
