WORKSHOPS + TRUNK SHOWS + LECTURES

all sewn up sewing kit: full day workshop Looking for the perfect bag to tote around your stitching supplies? The All Sewn Up Sewing Kit is one you’ll want to make for yourself and a sewist buddy. Students will learn a lot about bag construction, including zippers, stitching with vinyl and perfecting top stitching. With a bit of prep work prior to class, most students leave with a finished or nearly finished project. This class is great for confident beginners and intermediate stitchers.

clutched or cased hard frame bag: half day workshopThese hard frame bags are much easier than they look! Students can choose which bag, Clutched (larger) or Cased (smaller), they prefer to make. The bags use the same supplies, including a 3x8” hard frame. Students will leave with a finished bag in just a few hours. This versatile class is great for all levels and beginner friendly.

understanding the rainbow: lecture, half day or full day workshop Anyone intimidated by fabric selection? We will discuss the basics of color theory and how those concepts lead to better quilts! Students will leave armed with many tools for choosing colors. The lecture consists of a full trunk show exploring different aspects of color theory in quilts. The half day and full day lecture both begin with a mini lecture, although it is ideal to have a lecture in the evening, followed by a full day workshop. During the workshop, we will discuss color wheel sewing projects and students can bring their favorite fabric to create different color palettes. The difference in the half day and full day workshops is how much time the students will have for exploring their individual color project. Perfect for all level sewists.

making a monochromatic design: half day or full day workshopThis workshop will focus heavily on color theory, specifically value. Discover how to determine value and how to use value to make a quilt design pop. Gain a deeper understanding of how to evaluate value in relation to other fabrics in use. Monochromatic is one of the most difficult palettes to work with; most monochromatic quilts grow up to be analogous. Students will leave class with a thorough understanding of that distinction and the beginnings of a monochromatic quilt. We will construct a series of log cabin blocks to arrange in multiple ways to explore value placement. Perfect for all level sewists, basic piecing skills required.
