General Workshop Information

Our goal is to have a full class each time, as we strive to bring nationally known teachers to Raleigh and Capital Quilters Guild!

Guild members will have priority to register for all guild workshops but all workshops are open to anyone who wishes to participate as space allows.

Registration is first come, first served so be sure to register promptly when the class is advertised so that you secure a spot in a class!

Refund Policy: Full refund will be made if requested 30 days prior to the workshop. Without 30 days notice, you will only receive a full refund if space can be filled from the waiting list. If not, you will receive a credit for a future workshop.

Most workshops will be held at:

Highland United Methodist Church- Conference Room
1901 Ridge Rd
Raleigh, NC 27607

Time: 9am-3:30pm
Bring a bag lunch!


Specific details, supply lists, etc will be provided each student prior to the workshop.

Registered workshop students will be invited to a special “Meet & Greet” dinner to be held during the instructor’s visit.  It is a great way to get to know the teacher and other Guild members!

    Nanette Zeller Workshop
    Paint with Thread

    February 21, 2025 9:00-3:30, Highland UMC

    Thread painting, frequently referred to as free-motion embroidery, adds color and texture to a quilt or wall-hanging. This workshop teaches basic techniques  needed to color with thread using a sewing machine. In a hands-on process,  Nanette will show students how to successfully use fabrics, stabilizers, and  threads in their thread painting projects. Students will learn techniques to layer  and blend thread colors. Tips will be presented to help students develop their  own style and use their newly found free-motion embroidery skills in their  quilting projects.

    Nanette Zeller Workshop

    Three-Dimensional Thread Painting


    February 22, 2025 9:00-3:30, Highland UMC

    This class will be a custom-made class for our guild. Nanette will use water soluble and firm stabilizers to make thread painted elements. These elements can be stitched flat onto a quilt so they have a raised surface. Or, if you stitch the butterfly onto the quilt sewing just through the body, the wings would not be attached to the quilt and would sit away from the surface. Imagine the possibilities: leaves, birds, insects, trees, plants, architectural elements. The list is endless!
