The modern quilting movement is evolving and changing, but one thing remains consistent: simple, spare design combined with thoughtful quilting make an outstanding combination.
Modern minimal quilt design
This talk ties directly into my Modern Abstract Quilts workshop, giving an overview of my process for coming up with simple graphic quilt designs, starting with stitched paper models (called maquettes). I show examples of how to translate an architectural photo into a quilt design, and have many samples of mini quilts I created using this process. The techniques I present are also great for making unique modern quilt block designs. I also talk about walking foot quilting and how to break free from stitch in the ditch.
“I just wanted to let you know how inspired I was by your presentation this afternoon (morning for you). As well as the breadth of interesting information and quilts which you presented, your open, positive and enthusiastic manner made the time just fly by. You are not only a gifted designer/quilter, but also a wonderful speaker.”
