Improvisational Quilt Making: It’s a freeing creative process meant to allow students to play with the unexpected. No rigid patterns, templates or precision measuring here. Instead, we’ll work in a loose and freeform quilting style focusing on the creative process while maintaining solid design concepts.

Students will sew patchwork quilt blocks without the limitations of traditional patterns with results that are often surprising and unexpected. The morning will focus on creating liberated patchwork blocks. In the afternoon we’ll move on to design elements that can help create a cohesive overall quilt top.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own sewing machines as long as they are in good working order. There are studio several machines available for student use, but they need to be reserved in advance.
