Six Hour Workshops
Stretching Tradition:
Take a step toward creating original quilt design grounded in
traditional block patterns. Learn about splices, split outs, and sizings.
Revitalize your quiltmaking! (available as process or project class; also
available in multiple day format)
Adventures in Black & White:
Create dynamic combinations with two blocks in black, white, and
gray. This is an interesting voyage through clean, crisp design and shaded
variations.
Border Sampler: A vertical-strip sampler quilt composed of seven border designs. Each one illustrates a method of creating pieced borders. Combined, they make a lovely different kind of sampler.
Colorweave: Create a "woven" wallhanging of vibrant, interactive color. Simple piecing of unique color combinations yields results that are fascinating.
One Patch - Pieces and Pivots: Take a slightly irregular four-sided shape (a square that doesn't understand 90 degrees!), add a few funky Log Cabins and a mess of fantastic fabrics, and before you know it, you've created a great quilt. Fairly fast and lots of fun!
