Abandon all quilt templates ye who enter here…
Enter a magical world of wild abandon where we sew using our eyes and decision-making skills instead of store-bought patterns. In this class we will teach you to develop your critical eye and fuzzy logic skills needed to create your own contemporary abstractions of iconic quilt blocks. Learn how much fun it is to sit down and create a quilt block with no written pattern.
No previous quilting experience necessary! All you need to be able to do is sew a straight line. Beginners are strongly encouraged to attend.
Let’s turn some of your favorite classic quilt blocks all wonky.
