Saturday, October 18 | 1-5 p.m.
So much can be found at the pace of a walk. Take inspiration from a short walk in Downtown Frederick to create a one-of-a-kind mini quilt top revealing some detail of the city that interests you. We will meet at Twin Bears Bakery for a briefing then walk together for about 20 minutes, sketching and photographing what we observe along the way. Then we will have a sewing session at That’s Sew Hillary’s studio space to translate our inspiration into fabric. Sketching, testing, and experimentation are all part of the process. Participants will have the opportunity to share their inspiration and progress at the end of the workshop.
What we’ll cover:
Things to look for while “reading” the city
Translating inspiration into simple and sewable design
Machine piecing techniques to bring designs to life in fabric
All materials are included, but you’re absolutely welcome to bring your own fabric scraps if there are particular colors or prints you know you want to include in your quilt top. Feel free to bring your own machine or use one of the studio machines! Participants should be familiar with how to use a sewing machine. Ages 18+
Julia is offering one 50% scholarship spot for each of her workshops for people who self-identify as needing financial assistance, for any reason. The scholarship spot is first-come, first served.
Julia Triman is a quilter and quilting teacher fascinated with the creative process and the philosophy of creativity. She shares her quilts and creativity stories at quiltingjulia.com.
Please note: This class includes walking outside as part of the activities, and is rain or shine. The walk will include several stairs and walking up and down an incline. By registering, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in this activity and accept full responsibility for your own safety and well-being. Please wear appropriate footwear and dress for the weather. The instructor and studio are not responsible for any injuries, accidents, or losses that may occur during the outdoor portion of the class.
