Inspired by Architecture
Zoom workshop by
David Owen Hastings
Saturday, June 7, 2025
9:00 am - 3:00 pm (Arizona Time)
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.
MONUMENTAL INSPIRATION WITH UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES
Working from photos of architectural elements, David will guide you through the steps to design a mini modern fabric quilt… inspired by architecture! You will learn the quilt-as-you-go method, sewing the top pieces, batting and backing simultaneously. You’ll then add texture and complexity with David’s unique approach to walking foot machine quilting where the quilting lines become a major design element. Learn to connect multiple quilted units with a great gusset join technique, then add a simple faced binding for a modern finish.
- Experiment with different elemental geometric shapes, including gentle curves.
- Explore spare, simple compositions for a modern look.
- Think about figure and ground.
- Consider the sewing lines as a key design element.
This is an all-levels workshop. You should be comfortable using your sewing machine, and it should be in good working order. Basic knowledge of walking foot quilting is helpful, but not necessary.
