  What is a sew-in and why would I want to attend?

  Sew-ins are a great opportunity to connect with fellow guild members, both new-to-you folks and long-time friends. Our virtual sew-ins are drop-in and informal; join when you can and leave when you need.

  Sew-ins are filled with learning opportunities.

  • Watch how other folks do things. 
  • Ask for quilting tips and tricks. 
  • Solicit advice and feedback.

  What do I do at a sew-in?

  Sewing is optional at sew-ins. Or, choose anything to work on – machine work, hand work, ironing, cutting, choosing fabric, organizing, cleaning your work space, or starting to think about your next project. Come, listen, share, and learn. 

  When are the sew-ins?

  	Time
  Monday	7PM - 9PM
  Tuesday	7PM – 9PM
  Friday	11AM - 1PM
  Saturday	10AM – 12PM

  
  

  How do I join a virtual sew-in? 

  To receive the Zoom link, register for at least one sew-in. The Zoom link will be emailed to you in a confirmation email as well as a reminder email. 

  What if I want to go to more than one sew-in? 

  Fantastic! Join as many as you would like.

  Since the same Zoom link lets you join all the sew-ins, it’s not necessary to re-register, but you may find it helpful. Think about the registrations as signing up to receive a reminder email. 

  If you have questions, email us at programs@seattlemqg.com.

  It’s time for the Fall Day Retreat at Quilting Mayhem!

  Registration will open for this retreat on Saturday, August 23rd at 10:15 am.

  
  

  Details 

  When: Friday, October 3rd, Saturday, October 4th, and Sunday, October 5th 2025!

  Time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)

  Doors open at 10:00 am and we must be out by 5:00 pm. Quilting Mayhem is not allowing late stay for Saturday.

  Location:

  Quilting Mayhem
  1011 Second Street
  Snohomish, WA 98290

  Cost: 

  • 3 day pass - $60.00
  • Single days are per each day
  • • Friday Pass - $25.00
    • Saturday Pass - $25.00
    • Sunday Pass - $25.00

  How do Day Retreats Work? 

  Bring your machine and projects, set yourself up, and enjoy three days of sewing and camaraderie! Or if your calendar is full of conflicts, choose one or two days and join us when you can. This is a great, low-pressure way to meet up with other people in the Guild.  

  We've reserved their event space upstairs, so there's plenty of room. Each night you'll go home and sleep in your own bed, but you can leave your stuff at Quilting Mayhem and it'll be ready to go when you return the next day. On Saturday we have added a small room to accommodate a few more folks!

  What to bring: 
  

  • Your own sewing gear and projects 
  • Cutting mat (there are a few on hand, but not many)
  • Task lamp, if you like lots of light on your work. The lighting in the room is good, but more never hurts. 
  • If you want a design wall, you may wish to bring it. Quilting Mayhem has a few pieces of foam board covered with flannel (about 4 x 8). 
  • There is a refrigerator (no freezer) and microwave if you wish to bring your lunch. There are also multiple small restaurants within a 5 minute walk. 

  If you forget something, their large shop is just downstairs and retreat participants get 15% off! 

  What you don’t need: 

  Irons, ironing boards 

  Extension cords 

  Important Notes 

  If you’ve never sewn at Quilting Mayhem before: 

  There is a parking lot and lots of street parking around the shop. You can park near the front door to unload, but then please move your car to the street or to the far end of the lot to leave spaces close to the door for shoppers.   

  Large carts are available to load your gear onto, and an elevator to take it to the second floor. 

  We should have enough tables to reserve one double table as a workspace to sandwich quilts.

  Speaker: Erin Grogan

  Lecture: Finding Your Quilty Identity

  
  

  This lecture dives into the discovery of who you are as an artist and quilter. I’ve met many wonderful quilters who feel like they don’t know what they “like.” They say things like they only make quilts from kits or feel like they have to use what fabric is currently popular. There’s nothing wrong with this approach if it brings you joy, but if you’re looking to grow, this is the lecture for you. I break down the four different stages of a quilter. I then share my process for finding the color palette that represents you.

  Format: Hybrid

  Speaker Location: Zoom
  

  The October 2025 General meeting will be hybrid, meaning you can attend virtually via Zoom or in-person at the Phinney Center (blue building), room 7. If you register for the in-person meeting, we will still send you the Zoom information (because, hey--life happens).

  Quilt Coat 101 Workshop

  
  

  Making a quilt jacket is easier than you think, and even easier when you have an expert walking you through the process.

  In this workshop you will:

  • Walk you through the planning of your Quilt Jacket.
  • How to take your proper body measurements.
  • How to correctly print and assemble PDF quilt pattern pieces.
  • How to grade your pattern pieces to be the perfect fit for YOU!
  • How to cut out your pattern pieces.
  • How to sew an armscye.
  • How to sew a button hole.
  • How to attach rivets and snaps.

  Included in the workshop is a Planning Worksheet, and a Measurements Guide Worksheet. You will also receive the hood add-on drafted by Erin.

  This class is two 4 hour virtual classes so you have time to work on the coat between the classes.

  • Saturday, October 18, 2025, 9:00 am - 12:00pm Pacific time
  • Saturday, November 1, 2025, 9:00 am - 12:00pm Pacific time
