IN-PERSON RETREAT: Inspired by Architecture
EMPTY SPOOLS SEMINARS: This is a rare opportunity to take my very popular Inspired by Architecture workshop in a multi-day retreat format! You will finish a modern 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. You will complete and bind a quilt in the workshop!
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 oceanside setting.
Empty Spools Seminars is hosting this retreat at the scenic Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, CA.
The dates for the workshop are March 6–11, 2026. Registration for this March 2026 retreat is open!
