Basic Skills Classes

The talented members of the Moonlight Quilters of Sonoma County share their skills in four classes each year.

These classes are FREE to members!

These fun and informative classes are held at various locations.

Classes cover such topics as:

applique: machine or hand
machine piecing or quilting
specific block patterns
techniques

These workshops are a fun way to get to know your fellow MQSC members, learn a new skill, or brush up on something you haven’t done for a while.

Come join us in the Lodge room of the Vets Building for a Sewcial. Bring your own project or pick up a Community Quilt Kit and spend the day with your quilting buddies. Community Quilt Kits include three yards of fabric and a selection of 3-yard quilt patterns. Each MQSC member is asked to donate one quilt each year to be distributed to our community. Basic Skills will cover any questions you might have. In addition, there will be several stations showing various Seminole Patchwork steps in preparation for July's Program on Seminole Piecing with Kristin Laura.

Sept 6, 2025 - Sewcial & Basic Skills Seminole Piecing - Vets Building - North Room - 9:30 - 3:30

Looking to add a little pizzazz to a project? Consider what a Seminole Piecing strip or two could do. Come with your own project or try your hand at some Seminole Piecing designs. Seminole Piecing designs can easily be adapted as borders to quilts, decorative piecing to bags or to clothing.
