  Virtual Workshop - Approaches to Improv Quilting with a Traditional Block

     

              
  

                                                   

  This is a one day workshop, Saturday  9-2

                      
  

  Improv quilting is a dynamic approach to making quilts. It allows the maker to explore their ideas on a deeper level, expanding the imagination. Often, improv quilting is seen as a spontaneous process without prior planning. In this hands on course we will explore a “ design planned approach” to improv quiltmaking. Not all improv quilts are created without a foundation. We will use the drunkard’s path block as a blueprint to draw out a quilt top design. We will learn quilting as an active process, making decisions about design and color in the moment. This course is perfect for quilters of all levels who want to further explore the magic of adding their voice into the quilt making process.

  Sign-up starts: Members: Open Now; Non-Member 7/29/25

  
  

  Journey into color mastery by creating illusions and tricking the eye. Color is one of the most exciting things about quilting, and yet it’s easy to feel unsure about our choices. By understanding how we see color and then creating illusions with color, students can develop color confidence and giddy enjoyment. In this class, learn to define and use basic color theory terminology; apply the principles of additive and subtractive color as they relate to vision, light, and the physical world; create mutable color illusions; create a color palette with afterimage effects; and create transparency illusions including a complex transparency illusion with more than two overlapping shapes and textures. Class will begin with lectures, demonstrations, and exercises, then students will sew a sampler block.
