led by Patti Auten - SFMQG VP of Projects
The South Florida Modern Quilt Guild is having fun with Modern Traditionalism...the updating of classic quilt designs.
Our leader for this workshop is our own Patti Auten - SFMQG VP of Projects. Her quilting style over the years has veered more into improvisational styles with bright colors. She's thrilled to have "found her people" in the SFMQ guild. She's happy to use her enthusiasm and teaching skills for The Quilt-A-Long project. Find Patti on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
Workshop Description:
Semi-improv nine patch by Teresa Downunder
Explore a gentle introduction to improv quilts using traditional nine patch blocks. We'll be using variations of the churn dash and monkey wrench patterns and "making it modern" using improv techniques. Participants will complete blocks for a 36 x 48 mini quilt during the mini workshop. Based on Teresa DownUnder's Semi-improv 9-patch quilt tutorial.
