OWQG offers incredible opportunities to be inspired in your quilting, learn new techniques, and improve skills with a diverse range of speakers and classes featuring some of the region’s most respected quilters.

Approximately 7-8 times each year, we welcome a guest lecturer to our monthly meeting. These skilled quilters offer a trunk show (display and discussion of quilts) or lecture which reflects a particular theme or technique. They encourage us to try new things and be awed by the many ways of quilting represented in our guild and beyond.

The lecturers then lead a workshop the next day, Tuesday, and give us a chance to slow down, practice creativity, and meet new friends. Unless otherwise noted, the classes will be held at CHEER which is convenient, spacious, bright, and offers breakfast and lunch at a very reasonable cost:
