How can the act of drawing be translated to quilting? In this workshop, go from drawing with pencil and paper to applying marks to fabric with three different techniques: Stitching in free motion, piecing freeform inset strips, and a modern take on bias tape appliqué. Each way gives rise to different expressions of line, as separate techniques and then in combination. Sewing machines generously provided by event sponsors!
