Strips & Bits—Patternless Scrap Quilts

Not sure what to do with that fabulous bag of scraps you have stashed in the bottom of your fabric closet? Bring it along and learn to piece with abandon! Students will learn free-form cutting, approximation piecing and leave with a freer attitude about playing with fabric.

Quilt-as-you-go; History & Techniques

Making quilts in small sections and joining those sections to make a larger quilt is a method that has been used by quilters for more than 150 years. Using examples from her collection, Pam will lead students through the various methods and techniques. Students will leave with a notebook of techniques, pattern sources and learn how to choose what method works for what project.
