Westside
Quilters is open to all traditional, contemporary and art quilters of
any age, from beginner to expert. Lecture presentations, workshops and
field trips are held throughout the year.
Our
Mission:
A new kind of quilt guild organized for educational
and charitable purposes; to promote cooperation and the exchange of ideas
among quilters; to instruct members in methods and techniques of traditional
and contemporary creative quilting; to serve mini-groups and their philanthropic
endeavors within the community; to inspire personal achievement.
We are back meeting in person and starting in 2025 all speakers and workshops will be IN PERSON. Members also have the option of attending our quarterly meetings over Zoom. We do ask that if you do not feel well or have been exposed to Covid, that you not attend in person meetings.
 Our Next Workshop - Saturday, February 8, with Libby Williamson - "Embrace the Vase" Create lovely floral arrangements with free-motion stitching and paint. By stitching designs on top of black and white fabrics, and then adding washes of acrylic paint, we will build the elements for your composition. These pieces will then be layered on top of canvas and enhanced with special bits of vintage linen, lace, and assorted fabrics. If your inspiration takes you in a different direction, feel free skip the florals and design different images of your choice. All of the fabrics and materials for your artwork will be provided in class, including assorted white cottons, black and white prints, canvas, vintage linens and trims, ribbons, acrylic paint, and all of the tools you will need in class. (And there will be chocolate.) You will need to bring: Fabric scissors, an art apron or paint shirt, and your sewing machine. Optional: Any special bits of fabric or trims which you'd like to incorporate into your work. Now open for registration.
Fee: $80, $90 for non-members.
Location: Community Room space at the Los Angeles Police West Traffic Division at 4849 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles
