Events

Throughout the year, the LAMQG offers a rich variety of events designed to inspire, educate, and connect its members. From monthly meetings and hands-on workshops to guest speakers, quilt challenges, and special interest groups, these events provide opportunities for quilters of all skill levels to learn new techniques, share ideas, and build lasting friendships. Together, they create a vibrant, welcoming community centered on creativity and a shared love of quilting.

We are proud to be able to offer equity event pricing for all our paid events.

    Come sew with guild friends for the charities LAMQG supports!

    You may work on a project of your own that you plan to donate (quilts, pillowcases or your Quilt for Democracy block), or begin a project on site. There will be demos of how to make pillowcases and easy blocks (hourglass, rail fence, jelly roll) that can quickly create beautiful quilts for someone else.

    Please join us! 

    Registration is required so that we know how many to expect. There is no fee for this event.

    Put a Bird on It!

    In this workshop, participants will create a "jaunty jay bird" 24" square project, perfect for a pillow or wall quilt.

    You can take a literal approach with a blue jay or cardinal, or create a colorful bird using scraps. The pattern also includes a smaller 12" block option for totes or small pillows. The project focuses on basic patchwork piecing, stitch-and-flip corners, and half-square triangles.

    Robin will share ideas for experimentation and demonstrate cutting techniques to minimize preparation time. While this project can be completed in a full day, our half-day session will allow us to start our birds and view various examples.

    Registration opens August 1.

    Contact sarah@lamqg.org or dona@lamqg.org with questions.
