IN-PERSON RETREAT: Inspired by Architecture – CANCELED
This retreat has been canceled, and will be rescheduled for June of 2027. Check my calendar later in 2026 for an updated listing.
HUDSON RIVER VALLEY ART WORKSHOPS: This is a rare opportunity to take my very popular Inspired by Architecture workshop in a multi-day retreat format! You will finish a small quilt in the time we have together.
Working from photos of architectural elements, I will guide you through the steps to design a minimal, modern fabric quilt… inspired by architecture! You will learn the quilt-as-you-go method, sewing the top pieces, batting and backing simultaneously. You’ll then add texture and complexity with my unique approach to walking foot machine quilting where the quilting lines become a major design element. Learn to connect multiple quilted units with a great gusset join technique, then add a simple face binding for a modern finish.
This workshop is a five-day in-person event. We will have the luxury of nearly a week of workshop time to design and develop a beautiful modern quilt in a gorgeous setting.
Hudson River Valley Art Workshops is hosting this retreat at their historic 1889 Greenville Arms Inn. Learn, create, and relax in a beautiful setting! At their facility you’ll find an all inclusive setting of a 24-hour climate-controlled art studio, unique lodging, and on-site meals in the beautiful Hudson River Valley region of Upstate New York.
We will also have a special one-day unit on Composing Modern Quilts from Architecture — a great way to build on your composition skills!
WORKSHOP CANCELED: will be rescheduled for June of 2027.
