Workshop Agenda
May 12th, Friday evening 6:30pm
Lecture: The Skill of Quilt Design
Quilt design, like most creative activities, is not second nature to most people. There are several facets to consider when designing, such as how to see and find inspiration, how to take an initial design and edit it, finding your own style then taking it from an idea to reality.
Michelle will share her discovery and journey of quilt design. She will discuss where she finds inspiration, the importance of visualizing your ideas and how that translates into her quilts.
May 13th, Saturday 10am - 4pm
Workshop: Modern Quilt Design: Every Day Inspiration
