Workshops
- Birthstone Workshop: each participant can make whatever gem they want. Once the student understands the process, they can continue making more gems! In the workshop, Mary-Jeanine shows the step-by-step process used for all the gems. She will also go over some of the differences with each gem: curved seams (very gentle curves!), set-in piecing, long, thin piecing, multiple seams in one area, etc.
- Sip & Sew: each participant makes the gem they prefer; offered as a follow-up event for students who have already taken a class
- Diamond Diva Series Workshop: "Elizabeth" is the first of many beautiful gem quilts. She is a large square princess-cut diamond that is available in four colorways
- Please see Mary-Jeanine's many other non-Gem workshop ideas HERE.
Notes:
- Mary-Jeanine will have both the gem patterns and the gem fabric bundles available for purchase at the workshop.
- Please email Mary-Jeanine for more information on workshop fees and travel expenses.
- Although the Diamond is a popular choice, its best if the student not START with the Diamond, as it is the most challenging.
Here are a few nice comments from Mary-Jeanine's recent students:
You gave an Excellent lecture and workshop for our guild! The entire guild was enthralled with your teachings - which goes to show you can teach old dogs/gals new tricks! What a Blessing! On behalf of us all - MANY THANKS!!

Hi Mary-Jeanine, Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed
your program at our guild meeting
It was one of the best programs we have had.
You actually explained "how" to do something. And the hand out was great! :).
Thanks again! Nan
Thank you so much for the excellent class
you recently taught at The Sewing Studio.
I learned so much valuable information,
not only about the course's title subject, machine quilting,
but also about so many important aspects of quilting in general.
You are a delight.
If you teach something other than what I have taken from you, please let me know. I'd love to join you! I think you're a knowledgeable & keen teacher.
I just want to say you are a delight to work with.
I appreciate all your attention to detail and prompt response.
Just a little praise for this Wednesday morning!
Not only did I enjoy & learn new tricks in your class, you have made a believer out of me… I am soooo glad I had the opportunity to play hooky from work and join you! Thank you ever so much!!!
Thank you once again for an awesome class. I am thrilled and excited about continuing my new endeavor in free motion quilting. You have no idea how I feared it. THANKS!!! And thanks to Ms. Judy for recommending you to me.
I really enjoyed the Stack & Whack class and your patience and helpfulness with us all.
I look forward to doing another class with you and hope you have a great trip out west this summer.
I did enjoy the class today very much...you are a great teacher & make it all seem like fun too!
Enjoyed your program, as I did the first one. You are informative, entertaining, and a hoot to watch. Thank you for coming to our guild. Hope you do it again in the future. ES, St. Pete
