Start your week off with creativity.
Formerly the Monday Morning Quilt Along, this group evolved into a group of creatives that go beyond the sewing machine. This is Studio time! Time for you to honour your creativity and explore in the company of a creative community. It's a magical place, and if you're unsure, you can come for a week to try it out before committing.
- Monday mornings 9:30-11:30
- Starting September 14
- Bring your own project
This fall some of the group are planning to work on a Wonky Star Quilt, and others are continuing with ongoing projects. Whether you're knitting, sewing, painting, or tidying your studio this is a beautiful way to start your week.
This is what a session looks like.
- We check in
- Show where we are at, what we are working on
- The group is here for you if you need any feedback
- Sew, cut, press-I'm here for you if you get stuck, or have any questions
- Knit, tidy your studio, make a paper craft, fold your fabric (or your laundry), this is your time.
- I check in with everyone once during the 2 hours
- More often than not there's a lively discussion and quiet working time
- Finish up with a 'where'd you get to'/show and tell
Dates for this term:
September 14, 21, 28,
October 5, 12,* 19 (*this is thanksgiving, but usually we meet anyway),
November 2, 9, 16, 23, 30,
December 7, 14, and maybe 21 for last minute holiday sewing.
Who is this class for?
This is your two hours a week to set aside for your own creative endeavour. Currently we have knitters, quilters, and artists, but if you know anything about us crafty, artistic folks, you know we have our hands in more than one pie. Actually pie making and bread making have both been discussed.
Start your week prioritizing your creative self, and if you're unsure, you are welcome to come try for a week to see if we're a good fit. Everyone will be working at their own pace and on their own project, but be aware, craftiness is contagious and we often inspire one another to try new things.
I am there for advice and guidance, but this is not a lesson based class.
Who else is in the group?
This group is an eclectic mix of creative women. It originally formed in response to a Facebook post I made about quilting, but has since evolved into a supportive and inspiring community.
It's so easy for the days to get lost and you don't know how you didn't get anything done. This class is somewhere to show up every week, and see familiar faces, and have others celebrate your wins with you.
