Workshop, Wednesday September 18, 2024
Amy Friend of During Quiet Time
Amy is an award-winning quilter and her quilts have been exhibited at multiple Quilt Shows as well as in museums. Amy is a national quilt teacher and lecturer. She
is doing a lecture in September for MLQ on Improvisational Paper Piecing and this ties in with the workshop.
Improvisational Paper Piecing Workshop
“This workshop is based on one of the three design approaches that I share in my second book, Improv Paper Piecing: A Modern Approach to Quilt Design. This class is
technique and design based, all about approaching your paper pieced block designs improvisationally. You will design and sew your own block and work on a quilt layout using alternate grid work,
negative space, and other elements of modern design.”
