Back in December I taught a quilting workshop through the Fabric Workshop and Museum here in Philly — participants got to sew a square I designed that was inspired by the current exhibition — Samara Golden: Upstairs at Steve’s. The goal was to create something that could be hand-sewn and incorporated a 3D illusion.
I had so much fun! I enjoyed coming up with the design, and helping others learn to make it. The fabrics are all remnants from fabrics that artists have screenprinted at the Fabric Workshop. I learned that while doing the absolute hardest part of the quilt (those quarter circles in the center) got it out of the way, it made it much harder in a group setting to keep everyone at the same pace. I will be working on an instructional PDF for this design so that anyone can make it at home. Coming soon!
