  Daisy with On Point Border

  Laureen Smith

  October 22, 2025

  Transform your quilts with this three-dimensional fusible applique technique. During this class, you will learn to

  • Quilt the background,
  • Make the templates and appliques,
  • Attach the appliques, and
  • Embellish the mini quilt to make it really pop.

  

  Supplies to bring: See Supply List for materials needed.

  Optional kits($25) are also available at this  link  or copy: Dimensional by Design - Daisy | Tourmaline & Thyme Quilts which include all the materials except thread for sewing/quilting; be sure to select the Daisy On Point kit.  For those getting the kit, you will also need 1 FQ of a coordinating fabric for the border/backing. This ensures that you really like it!  Remember that this is a ZOOM workshop, you need to purchase the kit in advance if you want one.

  Members: $50

  Non-members: $65

  QGGH Business Meeting

  November 18, 2025

  Bethanne Nemesh

  Walk a Creative Path

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Bethanne Nemesh is a classically trained artist with degrees in Art and Art Therapy...but more importantly...I've been mastering the art of free motion machine quilting for over 23 years! Her quilts have been extensively shown and have been honored with many major awards in all levels of national and international quilting. My deepest love though, is teaching. I have taught quilters all over the world to love quilting and find their own voice of creative expression through the stitched line. For more information visit https://whitearborquilting.com/

  Texture from A to Zen

  Bethanne Nemesh

  November 19, 2025

  
  

  9 AM - 4 PM

  Trini Mendenhall Community Center

  1414 Wirt Rd./Houston, TX 77055

  Members $50.00/Non-members $65.00

  Traditional free motion background fillers are a wonderful starting point, but what happens when you let yourself be influenced by natural patterns, everyday objects, macro photography, and the art of Zendoodling? Be inspired by Bethanne’s fresh take on backgrounds, with inspiration from every letter of the alphabet, perfect for filling those big open spaces of more modern quilts! 

  Supplies to bring: no kit, bring the following

  1) Sewing machine set up for free motion quilting with any tools to make that easy. (Table/ gloves/ grips).

  2) A pre-basted sandwich of neutral fabric, one yard x width of fabric.

  Suggested companion book: “Quilted Textures from A to Zen”
