Margarita Korioth’s lecture at the Saturday March 20 Quilt Day meeting is titled “The Off Couple – Paper & Fabric in Quilts”. For the past 20 years, Margarita Korioth has worked with different media, paints and dyes, to discover and create new techniques that incorporate paper and fabric in one piece of art. Her message is to approach quilting art from a different perspective to show the endless possibilities of combining printed material with fabric or on fabric alone. This lecture reflects her journey combining paper into quilting and lots of tips on how to incorporate mixed media into your art.
Non-members may also register for a fee of $10.00.
This is an online event on the Zoom platform. A link will be sent to those who register prior to the event.

THIS IS A LIVE, ONLINE CLASS TAUGHT ON THE ZOOM PLATFORM
The lure of indigo is strong — the classic blue and white combination found in many Japanese textiles is cool, crisp, and so appealing. From classic kimonos to denim jeans, indigo has been used by many cultures for dyeing cloth, and the Japanese have refined the use of indigo to an art form. This is the class to use all those lovely blue and white shibori fabrics you’ve dyed yourself, or use carefully curated blue and white fabrics from your stash. Each participant will develop a simple geometric block design based on unfolded origami shapes, set a theme and create variations, and combine them into the beginning of a fresh and modern mini quilt top.
A required $10 kit fee will be payable directly to David. You will receive a link to his website when the kits are available. An optional blue and white fabric kit is available that includes vintage Japanese yukata cotton prints (price to be determined)
The class runs from 9:30 AM-4:00 PM Eastern Time with a 1/2 hour break for lunch. The Zoom classroom opens at 9:00 AM and students should be online by 9:15 AM.

David will guide you through a creative process for designing your own modern abstract quilts, taking inspiration from architectural photos to develop dynamic and unique quilt designs. Using photos of architectural elements as inspiration, David will guide you through the steps to transform the lines and structure from a photo into a mini fabric quilt design. We will use the quilt-as-you-go method. David will demonstrate facing your quilt, which gives a modern finish. Your mini quilt can be the final product (frame it, hang it, or make a pillow cover later), or it can be a test for a larger quilt.
The class runs from 9:30 AM-4:00 PM Eastern Time with a 1/2 hour break for lunch. The Zoom classroom opens at 9:00 AM and students should be online by 9:15 AM.
