Lectures and Workshops
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.
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!
