Programs

Using a scrap of fabric as a “starter”, students learn how to create a unique free motion quilted quiltlette, step-by-step. A timid free motion quilter will gain confidence in this class. This is a great class for students with a little free motion quilting experience who want to learn to combine motifs and discover their own personal style. Various motifs and fills will be taught in class.

Color is an important element in art, understanding how to use it it can be a strong tool to create contrast, balance, focal point and many other important principles when it is time to compose your own work.

This workshop consists of two parts. In the morning she will teach part one: Organic Shapes.
She will lead part two in the afternoon on "Mix-up Quilting" where you'll learn how to incorporate hand quilting with machine quilting to enhance the texture of your quilts.

Organic shapes: In this class I will teach you how to make curved shapes with your sewing machine! I explain step by step, in detail, how to make these beautiful shapes, which will give you the possibility to freely create shapes on your quilts! It is not Appliqué. In addition, I will show you 3 variants of these forms (one form on top of another, one form next to another and one form within another) and I will give you ideas to inspire you in your next creations!

"Mix-Up Quilting" is Carolina Oneto's technique of using hand quilting with perle cotton in combination with machine quilting to provide additional texture to your quilt. In preparation for the workshop, members will put together four quilt sandwiches  with simple machine quilting on them (details in supply list to come), which will then be used to practice her techniques of hand quilting. 

Come learn about a method that incorporates traditional and modern in one project and provides a really special way to interact with your quilt surface after it's pieced.

Tim shares that his résumé reads like a fiber arts fever dream: yarn mills, upholstery sourcing, fashion costing at Levi-Strauss, R&D at DuPont, and textile restoration work at the Met and the V&A. Basically, I’ve done it all—except take up golf ( - who has the time to chase little balls around on a giant lawn? )

"I’ve been tangled up in thread and fiber for over 50 years—and teaching for more than 30, from kitchen tables to institutions that should’ve known better. I’ve racked up ribbons in everything from felting to fashion design, built Victorian costumes that could legally qualify as architecture, and once made a doll so detailed it creeped people out (that was a win, by the way)."

Krista Moser is a sewing enthusiast and quilt pattern designer with over thirty patterns to her name since 2016. She's the creative mind behind the popular Creative Grids 60 Degree Diamond Rulers and has taught sewing and quilting for over twenty-five years. With features in quilting magazines, published books, and displays in top quilt shops nationwide, Krista's passion for quilting knows no bounds. 

In her presentation, Krista tells her story, how she started very young and went on to design her own quilts and patterns.  She typically works in design concepts and color theory while showing different quilts.

Incorporate your favorite jelly roll or raid your stash.  You can work with as little as a 5” strip of each color. Accent your room with a clever contemporary quilt that will complement today’s chic decor. Hexagons quilts are all the rage right now. Have you ever wanted to try one but have heard they are hard? Then, you will love this pattern! It’s entirely strip pieced so no fussing with Y-seams or difficult piecing techniques. You get a WOW effect without all the headaches.
