Montpellier Quilters is now registered to take part in a weekend of short workshops with The Global Quilt Connection All Star Virtual Sampler Platter.
In this live Zoom meeting an All-Star cast of 18 quilt teachers will demonstrate some of their favorite quilting techniques over two different days. It’s a showcase of a wide variety of styles and techniques, from traditional to modern and art quilting techniques with something to please everyone! You will receive a PDF to share with your guild members that includes written instructions to go along with each teacher’s demonstration, as well as a page with tips for making the most of the live demonstrations.
The Global Quilt Connection was founded by Sue Bleiweiss and Lyric Kinard as a response to not being able to offer live in person teaching events due to the current pandemic situation.
