  Virtual Workshop - Improv Scrapmania

  
  

            
  

                                 

  This is a two day workshop. 9-12 each day

                      
  

  Sign-up starts: Members: Open Now; Non-Member 11/26/24

  
  

  Use the scraps that you might otherwise throw away and make a unique contemporary design.

  Sew your smaller scraps into Improv Blocks or add skinny lines to larger scraps to make units that go together like a puzzle. There’s no right angles or straight lines unless you want there to be! We’ll focus on sewing our units together using expressive lines–gentle curves that follow the shape of the elements used, rather than a hard squaring off process.

  You can also use leftover or orphan blocks in your composition if you like.

  We’ll talk about color and design to create the composition as well as the techniques needed.

  Basic sewing skills and a sewing machine in good working order are necessary.

  Virtual Workshop - Keep it Simple, but Pack a Punch

  
  

                  
  

                                 

  This is a two day workshop. 9-12 each day (note dates two weeks apart)

                      
  

  Sign-up starts: Members: Open Now; Non-Member 12/10/24

  
  

  Join us for this workshop in which you will learn how to create beautifully simple but compelling quilts. We will discuss color, values and design concepts, then sketch out a rough design on paper, keeping in mind that “simple” often makes more of a powerful statement than “busy”.

  
  

  This class will involve mostly improv quilting without a ruler. We will learn curved piecing. Some simple fusing may be added. Bring your hand dyed or commercial fabrics: an interesting focus fabric and various values in other hand dyes, batiks, silks or prints. Gradient fabrics are especially effective for this type of quilt. We will cut and piece our quilts. Quilting and facing will be demonstrated and discussed.

  Supply List.
