Skill Level: Intermediate +
Skills Taught: Piecing with bias curves, sewing
pinless curves with a machine, color play, improvisational mindframe,
brick-by-brick improvisation
Length: Runs as a 6 hour (full day) class or
can be extended over several sessions
This class
explores several essential intermediate-expert techniques for both
improvisational and curved piecing. You'll learn how to sew my favorite
improvisational blocks set in negative space. Finally, you'll practice bias
curve piecing to give your quilt distinctive movement. These diverse skills are
transferable and valuable – let me help you create a truly unique and modern
quilt!
Optional: Turn the second half of class into an
intermediate free motion quilting workshop. Learn how to quilt designs shown
above and tips and tricks for quilting modern improvisational quilts. Please note that the improvisation part of the class will be shortened significantly to allow for this.

Here are the two quilts I've made so far using these techniques. I'm working on some samples with less colors and mostly solids. I'll be sharing those for the first time with the Baltimore MQG on Saturday, August 20! Thanks for taking me on, Baltimore! :)

Let's go make some modern quilts!!
These are 2 of my very favorite quilts you've made! I'd be the first one to sign up for your workshop, but alas, I'm on the west coast and the commute is just too much. Everyone who gets to join you in class will be truly blessed by your can do attitude, fun spirit and innovative techniques.
