Designing a quilt can take many forms, and I don’t hold myself up as a great quilt designer, but I do design all my own quilts and the idea of this exercise is to explain to you how I actually do that.

 

I am fashion designer and have had to design some 200 garments a year..........!!!

I now find designing quilts is less stressful— except that I have to make the quilt up and write and test the directions.........so I often I end up with 3 or 4 quilts.........

In garment design, I had a patternmaker and sewer .........!!!! Now I need the help of the Quilt Angels.

 

Designing is a  personal expression........ but as I tell my students......

IT’S NOT RIGHT, NOT WRONG, BUT DIFFERENT. !!!!!!!

 

In this Lecture/workshop we explore the dynamics and mathematical clues to designing a well balanced quilt.

This is a popular lecture and workshop and it gives students the confidence to go just that one step further and experiment with design for themselves.

 

 

The motto of this class is

“Medallion madness”
