What is a Technique Sharing Workshop (TSW)? A TSW is a way for guild members to teach a technique they have found especially helpful in improving the quality of their quilts and quilting experience. These workshops are usually 10-15 minutes long and have been taught after general meetings in the past. Now, with the advent of Zoom and YouTube, members can share something they have found, or demonstrate their technique, and have it posted on our Website.
Our guild is thriving because we have volunteers who share their time and talents. If you are looking for a way to be an active member, please consider being the chair of TSW. The chair searches out possible members to teach or share a technique and schedules the workshops for a year.
