Hello Fellow Vancouver Island Quilters and Guild Members,
Join us as Mayne Island award winning quilter and textile artist Sandra Sandvik presents her Botanical Beauty Workshop—an inspiring opportunity to learn new and exciting quilting techniques while exploring colour, design, and creativity.
In this workshop, you’ll learn a variety of piecing techniques, including sewing curves, foundation piecing, and unique block finishes. You’ll have the freedom to incorporate different design elements into each block, making each one unique, or use the same design throughout—it’s entirely up to you!
You’ll leave the workshop with several completed blocks and a plan for finishing your choice of a 35" x 35" quilt or, optionally, a 42" x 53" quilt. Other project options include a pillow, table runner, or smaller wall hanging.

Our History:
Nanoose Quilters began in 2010 when seven keen women took a leap of faith that there would be enough quilters in Nanoose Bay to form a group: the initial 26 members has since grown to 50. We are all enthusiastic quilters who range from beginners to advanced. Our love of fabric and quilting is shared in a supportive community. Quilting journeys are shared with each other, creating friendships along the way. We meet once a month in Nanoose Bay where we have demos, projects, and sew days. Members always bring projects to show, and new notions and patterns are discussed. The charity arm of the group works on providing comfort and warmth through donating quilted items. We are an amazing and fun-loving group who support, encourage and inspire each other in our creativity and love of quilting.
