Design Play Date
The objective for Design Play Date is to generate designs. Mary Hogan will use a number of exercises to help you come up with ideas. Participants work quickly with pre-fused fabrics to make designs on background fabric. You will develop small compositions while playing with shape, color, repetition and variety. Students will focus on placemat-sized compositions (14″ x 18″) which can be used as is or put together into a larger piece.

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.
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 Owen Hasting’s lecture at the Saturday May 22 Quilt Day meeting is titled “Minimal Design, Maximum Impact.” The modern quilting movement is evolving and changing, but one thing remains consistent: simple, spare design combined with thoughtful quilting make an outstanding combination. The lecture includes an overview of David’s process for coming up with simple graphic quilt designs, starting with stitched paper models (called maquette). Examples are provided showing how he also takes inspiration from architecture. The techniques he presents are also great for making unique modern quilt block designs, and finally he shares his approach to walking foot quilting. This lecture is meant to provide inspiration for people who might be intrigued by the modern, minimal esthetic, but don’t know how to get started.
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.QAAQG Quilt Along Week 12 – Finishing
