Workshop News
Night Owl Quilters hold in-house workshops, provided by many talented members. Some are hosted by popular quilters and artists from our region. Workshops are very popular with members who seek inspiration and like to be put out of their comfort zone whilst enjoying the company of fellow Club members.

2 March 2021 - Positive/Negative with Anne.
This project can be designed as a placemat, runner, wall hanging or mug-rugs. 
  • The motifs can be appliquéd by machine or hand. The squares can be joined by machine (or hand). They can then be spaced with the same sized square, strips or whatever creative way takes your fancy. 
  •  A good project to finish off at home so no sewing machine will be required in this workshop. ​ Please contact the Night Owl Workshop Coordinator for more details and/or booking a place.

 April/May/June 2020 - Petunia Quilt

Although we aren't able to currently meet, our Workshop Coordinator, Sue has been busy organising a remote workshop for those looking for a project. This will be a charity quilt with participants contributing a few blocks towards the quilt. 

For those participating, Sue has sent out instructions. Photo to the left is Part One of the project. Thanks Jan for sending your photo of 2 stem blocks.

July 2019 - Jelly Roll Race

​Approximately 10 Night Owlers attended the Jelly Roll Race where fabric was cut into 2.5 inch strips of 2.5, then joined end to end.  The entire length is then folded in half and re-joined several times to make a quilt top. Thanks to Maggie for providing the beautiful liberty fabric used for this project.  Thanks also to Julie, Susan M and Sue B for putting this workshop together. Everyone enjoyed the experience and was amazed at how quickly the top can be put together.

SIMPLE CURVE WORKSHOP
This highly successful workshop used the Magic Curve Ruler, held in March 2016. Overall more than half the Night Owl membership learnt the techniques.

Congratulations and thank you to Julie Criss for organising and teaching the workshop: she put in many hours of preparation to ensure it all ran smoothly. Julie has since purchased a Mini Curve Ruler to produce similar effects on a smaller scale, Eg. to produce a very attractive Christmas Tree table runner.
