SUSTAINABLE STASHING
This workshop takes a deep dive into techniques for living a more eco-conscious life as a quilter. This is NOT about going on a crash 'no buying ' diet. That isn't realistic for most of us.
In these short, practical lessons, I show how we can really USE the stash of wonderful fabrics that we already have in our homes. We love fabric--we buy it--and yet we do not use it?
We make quilt tops--or at least start them. And then, they too sit in our closets.
We need rulers and other tools--but do we need ALL of them? Which ones do we use regularly?
In these video lessons, I share practical tips and strategies that can jump start or re-energize your commitment to 'Sewing Your Stash'. These are small steps that can lead to BIG changes and deepen your satisfaction with your quilting life.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This workshop is not focused on using repurposed fabrics such as clothing or household textiles.
STASH & SCRAP JAZZ
Every quilter has a stash of leftovers—test blocks, partially completed tops, large scraps and even fat quarters of fabric we might never use!
This workshop will help you make a dent in using some of this fabric to create a beautiful modern quilt.
The pattern is based on two pieced blocks. We build these blocks using improvisationally pieced segments--improvisationally piecing our scraps and stash into complex but easy to piece block sections. No partial seams required.
The quilt can be made in a scrappy version OR you can gather a more coordinated set of scraps and blocks in a selected color palette. I’ll also show you how using a background color in the blocks can create a completely different look for the quilt.
