The goal of the Thread Painting workshop is to unlock your creativity! The workshop will focus on developing thread painting design and quilting skills from sample quilting to a small mini quilt. I will walk you through how to start from an inspiration image or idea, how to break down your quilting approach, and important other considerations to enable you to turn your next project into a work of art. Topics include image selection and preparation, template making, background layout, thread selection (color, value, and thread weight), quilting motif selection and stitch length, and minimizing distortion.
Note that this workshop requires a quilter who is comfortable and confident free motion quilting on their domestic machine.

If you are anything like me, my batting scraps and scrap bin are often begging to be used, and Mini Mini Quilts offer a lot of fun opportunities for creative play! One of the tools I use to unlock creativity blocks or lack of sewjo are small projects, and in this workshop, we will explore the fun realm of Mini Mini Quilts (finished quilts with an edge length of approximately 4" or smaller). The workshop will cover a bit of quilt design in the form of discussion about design constraints (for example, a limited or expansive color palette). We will explore the balance between full design development and improvisation. I will specifically teach my approach to binding these small finishes and offer fun quilting considerations. I can’t wait to see the quilts you are going to create!
