Delve into new territory with your quilt making!
In this workshop you explore one of the oldest quilting techniques — using found fabric — to create new inspiration, new color combinations, and new designs.
Joe takes you through the process of finding a new quilt design with the incorporation of some fabric that he gives you. You also bring one piece of clothing to cut up for the composition.
Additional fabrics for the workshop include a yard of a solid, a yard of a print, and two other yards of fabric.
RETREAT: 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. Plus five nights of accommodations at Saint Andrew’s.
RETREAT LIMITED TO 14 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.
