A Wonky Star: Improv with a Vintage Twist
Embrace the magic as you are given permission to combine the love of vintage with a fun modern aesthetic. Work with vintage textiles to create a wonky star with lots of negative space for modern quilting designs. The workshop is packed full of tips for working with vintage fragments and ways to showcase these treasured pieces. Students are encouraged to bring their own vintage blocks and fragments or they may purchase a kit of their choice in class. Finished sizes will vary.
Enjoy quilts from Mary's book, Twisted: Modern Quilts with a Vintage Twist and become inspired to create your own Twisted magic!
Stars Over Virginia Workshop
The Civil War forever changed the face of America and her quilting traditions. This workshop provides an opportunity to create a Star Quilt top using popular patterns, fabrics and colors of the Civil War era. Piece according to the pattern or expand your quilt to any size by adding additional borders if desired. We will briefly discuss the history of quiltmaking during the Civil War, available fabrics and unique social situations that influenced the women of this era. Enjoy Mary’s lighthearted approach and learn fast precision piecing techniques while immersing yourself in history.
