IMPROV QUILT-MAKING

Make your first quilt — without a pattern or fear of doing it wrong.

Learn how to create your own hand-stitched quilt using improvisational techniques — working with colour, texture and composition in a slow and intuitive way.

This is not traditional quilting.

You won’t follow someone else’s design.
You’ll create your own.

This is one of my most popular classes, with over 800 students learning to quilt in the Fear-Less method.
