  Inspired by Architecture

  Zoom workshop by
  

  David Owen Hastings

  
  

  Saturday, June 7, 2025

  9:00 am - 3:00 pm (Arizona Time)

  $50 for members

  
  

  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.

  Learn more about Timna Tarr...
  

  Timna Tarr comes from a long line of quilters but did not begin quilting until after studying art history in college. She bought her first longarm in 2001 and began quilting clients' quilts shortly thereafter. Timna’s own nationally award-winning quilts are in private and corporate collections and been seen in exhibits, publications, and on The Quilt Show and Quilting Arts TV. Timna is a designer for Studio e Fabrics, the author of Stitched Photo Mosaic Quilting, and is an in-demand teacher and speaker. She lives in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

  “My work is about color and small compositions. Each block in a quilt is made as its own element, independent of the other blocks. After all of the blocks are constructed, my goal is to arrange the small compositions to play off each other and work together to create a larger whole. What keeps me engaged is watching how the project changes and transforms with the addition of each color and texture.
  
  “The resulting quilts are contemporary works, set in this time and place, which reference the rich tradition of quilt making.”

  Make Curved Templates
  of Your Own Design

  a Zoom workshop by
  

  Patricia Belyea

  
  

  Saturday, July 12, 2025

  10:00 am - 4:30 pm (Arizona Time)

  $40 for members

  
  

  
  

  In the past, you may have bought a plastic template to make a certain quilt block. Now you can design and make your own curved templates for repeated blocks. 

  Patricia Belyea teaches the basics of making templates (from freezer paper!) and leads you to a confident approach for sewing curved seams (that are flat!). 

  The workshop project is a simple quilt filled with easy, repeated blocks—made with your own templates.

  There is no kit for this workshop. You will likely have all the fabric you need in your stash.

  There will be a half hour break for lunch.
