I’d love to see you in class!

All About Angles is a planned improv technique-based workshop where I teach a set of rules for creating these improvisationally pieced units without any speciality ruler or tricky math. Learn how to quickly and easily utilize the same angle throughout an improv composition for a dynamic quilt.

Take a spin on the ubiquitous Log Cabin block. In this improv workshop, I will present a wide variety of options for playing with the traditional Log Cabin block. It’s a bit of a choose your own adventure for mixing and matching these options to create a truly unique log cabin block. Keep building to make it the size you’d like, or create a number of blocks to put together in your final composition.

Just a few weeks until my QuiltFest Virtual Schoolhouse classes! I’m looking forward to connecting with quilters who are excited to dabble in improv piecing or who are looking to expand their improv repertoire. Please hit reply with any questions about these workshops shown above.

I’m also excited to share that I will be teaching 5 days of All About Angles: A Planned Improv Approach to Quilt Design at Empty Spools Seminars 2023 on the beautiful Asilomar Conference Grounds. Join me during session 4, April 21-26, 2023. Registration opens on May 2. Find all the info on the Empty Spools Seminars website.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to me after my last newsletter. Your messages have been very comforting.

Happy quilting,

On My Design Wall

This past week I presented at the Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds and Northern California Quilt Council Meet the Teachers events. So my design wall is currently setup to be my Zoom backdrop showing a variety of quilts featuring the type of work I speak about and teach.

Thanks to everyone who attended these Meet the Teachers events as guild program chairs and reps. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the events, they are a bit like speed dating for quilt teachers where guild representatives get to hear from a group of teachers in one meeting.

If you missed these events, you can hear a little about what I offer here and see all my lecture and workshop descriptions on my teaching page.
