Take the fear out of curved piecing with two different Improv Circle techniques. There’s no template, no pins, and no matching seams. You’ll be confident with curves in no time! Basic sewing skills and a sewing machine in good working order necessary.
Cindy Grisdela’s lecture at the Saturday September 18 Quilt Day meeting is titled “Free Motion Quilting with Style”. You’ve gotten comfortable with stippling. What’s next? Are you curious about adding interesting motifs to your free motion quilting? Cindy Grisdela shows you how in this fun lecture. Put different motifs in different areas of your quilt or mix it up all in the same space! Cindy uses her quilts as examples to give you ideas you can put to use in your next quilt.
Learn to create your own original quilts with no pattern using improvisational piecing techniques. Students will learn to let go of the “rules” and piece blocks in an intuitive, free form fashion. We will explore contemporary improv blocks, improv circles, and angled stripes, plus insets and curved strips. Use strips and scraps to add interest and make your design your own. There’s no measuring or precise cutting and each quilt will be unique.
