lecture: Minimal Design, Maximum Impact Presenter: David Owen Hastings
Wednesday, May 19, 2021 6:30-8:00 PM PST Live Event via Zoom The modern quilting movement is evolving and changing, but one thing remains consistent: simple, spare design combined with thoughtful quilting make an outstanding combination. This talk gives an overview of David's process for coming up with simple graphic quilt designs, starting with stitched paper models (called maquettes). He will show examples of how to translate an architectural photo into a quilt design and have many samples of mini quilts he has created using this process. The techniques he will present are also great for making unique modern quilt block designs. He also talks about walking foot quilting and how to break free from stitch in the ditch. Fee Member: $9 Nonmember: $10 Scroll down for cancellation policy.
