Lectures and Workshops
Get out of that pattern rut and design your own quilts with half-square triangles. See how you can use basic geometry and simple tricks to create the quilts you want to make — like nobody else’s work!
Don’t let the tiny stitches of traditional hand quilting scare you from finishing your quilt tops – try this modern method to add texture and interest while you get projects done! We will borrow skills from Japanese Boro stitching, Kawandi-style quilts, and Kantha cloth to create modern masterpieces.
Skill level: Advanced beginner to intermediate
Project: Three neck scarves (started in class, finished later).
Supplies: Three different yarns in colors and weights that can vary from sock yarn to chunky; crochet hooks to fit each yarn size
Skills: Students will learn/relearn the basics of crochet, including holding yarn, stitches (slip stitch, chain stitch, double crochet). Then students will make three neck scarves using three patterns (shell stitch, open windowpane, double crochet with spacing).
