Patricia takes joy in creating custom Spirit Quilts for others who are celebrating a life or mourning a loss. Listening to their stories and incorporating the clothes of a loved one, Patricia has learned how stitching memories into quilts completely transforms their meaning and power. Patricia includes an overview of Spirit Quilts she’s made over the past decade.
One-hour Zoom talk & virtual trunk show $400
Patricia shares her creative approach to developing new ideas for original quilt designs. Leapfrogging from one compositional concept to the next, Patricia takes your guild members on a journey of exploration with her newest series of quilts—Big Grids with Inserted Curves—made with vintage Japanese yukata cottons and other global fabrics.
Design and make curved templates for repeated blocks. Guild members start with the basics of making templates (from freezer paper!) and move to a confident approach for sewing curved seams (that are flat!). The workshop project is a baby quilt filled with easy, repeated blocks—made with their own templates!
Minimum: 12 students. Maximum: 20 students. $75 per student.
