Weird Quilting

Things are about to get weird! This will be a super fun and playful class where we will play around with using non-traditional and historically taboo materials and fabrics in our quilts!

Over my career, I have had a lot of fun experimenting with new and unusual materials in my quilts! From velvet and corduroy to construction reflective gear and old billboards -- I have tried a lot (and had so much fun trying to make these wacky things fit into quilts!)

Come with an open mind and bring any materials you have been secretly wanting to work with but have been too scared! Or bring something weird and wacky that you LOVE to use and tell us about it, too!

*all ticket holders will receive a recording after the live workshop has finished! No worries if you have to leave early or can't make it to the live class -- you can follow along later with the recording!

Supplies Needed:

bring any materials / textiles / random substrates you are drawn to or feel challenged by! We mean anything (leather, plastic vinyl, sheer fabric, sparkly things, embellished things, old clothing, weird fabrics, pieces of paper or magazines, bags, etc, etc, etc) -- if you're wondering, "can I put that in a quilt somehow?", bring it! And we will play around and find out! :)

sewing machine
