Upcoming Events

Below are some events you may be interested in as a modern quilter. These are not official guild events, and are put on by the person(s) listed with the event, so if you have any questions about the event please contact them!

Carole Lyles Shaw: Fibonnaci #1 - October 20, 7am - 1pm

This workshop is a surprisingly easy approach to modern quilting using just a few basic blocks. Block sizes are based on the Fibonacci sequence, a number series common to many things in nature.

Sherri Lynn Wood: Flying Geese Improv - October 24 + 25, 8am - 12pm

Practice your patchwork improv scales, with variations on a theme. On Day 1 transform the classic flying geese block through a series of pattern variations. Learn how to improvise, explore, and shift the pattern by listening to internal cues. Gain a deeper sense of how patterns evolve uniquely through your mind and hand. On Day 2 arrange and commit your variations to create a dynamic composition, through the discovery of bleeds, natural fits, and unexpected twists and turns, by responding to the quilt story as it unfolds.

Carole Lyles Shaw: Stash Jazz - October 28, 10am - 3pm

The pattern for this quilt is based on two pieced blocks. However, you start by improvisationally piecing your stash into complex looking but easy to piece block sections. No partial seams required. The quilt can be made in a scrappy version OR you can use a more coordinated set of scraps and orphan blocks in a selected color palette.
