Workshop: Material Matrix--this is a 2-day workshop on both Thursday, Oct 15th and Friday, Oct 16th
My technique, "Material Matrix", is inspired by the painter, Chuck Close. It involves using a gridded photograph and interpreting each 2-inch square into fabric, using piecing to achieve the effect. My lecture, "Material Matrix and the Paths Taken", is an overview of the evolution of Material Matrix and how it works. In the workshop, in addition to the technique, I teach: what makes a good photo to use, color and value, curved-piecing, and how to grid your own photo. Everyone in the class will work on "Wake Up Cup"

There is a $3.00 fee payable at class for a template.

Workshop: Stepladder with Robin O'Neil
This is an improvisational workshop- we will make samples of 10 different units using scissors and a sewing machine. We won’t be using templates or patterns or pins. The fun part about this is NO fretting because I set a timer for 20 minutes when we start each unit. No time to worry about what colors go together or making things line up or points being perfect! It’s a roller coaster of experimenting!

Workshop: "Color Craft: Discovering Inspiration and Crafting your Palette" with Taylor Krz
NOTE: this workshop is on Saturday May 15
Pinterest account and laptop required for class
Ready to take your quilts to the next level with gorgeous, intentional color choices — and then actually use them? This full-day workshop takes you from discovery to creation, combining the art of color design with hands-on sewing so you leave with both a custom palette and a finished project to show for it.
In the morning, we'll dig into where to find inspiration (hello, Pinterest!), learning how to use keywords to uncover the colors and themes you're naturally drawn to. We'll explore the basics of color theory in a simple, fun way using tools like Coolors.co to create your very own color palettes. Then we'll dive into how value and contrast can make or break a design, using digital tools like QuiltInk.com and Quilty Solid to test out your ideas before cutting into fabric. You'll walk away from the first half with an inspiration board full of ideas, custom palettes you love, and quilt mock-ups ready to go.
In the afternoon, we'll put those palettes to work! Using your newly created color combinations and a provided pattern, you'll sew a small project from fabric scraps — a hands-on way to see your color vision come to life in real fabric. It's a fun, creative day that'll leave you excited to tackle your next quilt with confidence
