A Creative Journey Exploring Modern Medallions
The swirling energy of a vortex can be added to a quilt with a dynamic medallion.
Join Patricia Belyea to learn how to pattern and sew an 8-segment medallion — and insert a circle medallion into your quilt composition.
Continue with conceiving and making two to three medallions of your own design and inserting them into your original background compositions.
This immersive experience gives you the freedom to explore new ideas amongst an encouraging and creative band of fellow quilters.
The venue, Saint Andrew’s House, is a historic lodge with a 24-hour quilting workroom, dining area, huge Great Room, and bedrooms all under one roof.
Your all-inclusive Retreat includes a private room for five nights at Saint Andrew’s House and four full days of classes—with breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day. Special meals include a Welcome Dinner on Sunday night and a Farewell Breakfast on Friday morning.
(Please note that your room will be on the second floor and there is no elevator at Saint Andrew’s.)
RETREAT LIMITED TO 13 PARTICIPANTS

Forty years ago, Reiko Sudo co-founded Nuno Corporation with Junichi Arai. Although “nuno” simply means fabric in Japanese, Sudo’s textile creations are anything but simple!
The innovative textiles produced by Nuno, conceived by Sudo and her team, blend traditional Japanese dyeing and weaving mastery with advanced modern techniques.
Sudo has been recognized globally for her contributions to Japanese textile design. Her work includes collaborations with architects, fashion designers, and artists, as well as major museum exhibits.
The project was designed by Ed Marquand, Reiko Sudo, and Alfred Birnbaum.
All 140 textiles included in The Nuno Box were produced by Nuno: Reiko Sudo, Hiroko Suwa, Sayuri Shimoda, Kazuhiro Ueno, Yumi Yasui, Jun Mashiba, Yuki Abe, Gaku Masui, Tomoko Fujino, Fumi Ito, Masaaki Takekura, and Hiroaki Takekura.
The texts, translation, editing, and coordination were handled by Alfred Birnbaum.
The letterpress printing was by Steve Morgan, and the binding was completed by Maria Solorio and Teresa Martinez.
The Nuno Box was compiled and constructed at Paper Hammer Studios in Tieton, Washington.
