Intro to Improvised Quilting: The Sampler

The aim of this course will be to introduce improvised quilting in the structure of a sampler. New and experienced students are invited to attend this course as it introduces beginner friendly ideas and new methods of reflecting on the sewist’s instincts. The class will go through all aspects of making a quilt from piecing to quilting and binding. Each week students will make a sampler block investigating a new improvisation prompt, skill or concept. The finished project will be a table runner or small wall hanging showcasing these experimental sampler blocks.

Quilting is as much about the process as it is about the finished quilt. It is an exercise in exploring one's relationship to navigating entropy: finding narrative and pattern in chaos. Playing with how many possibilities and pieces and colors and textures are before you and empowering oneself to make decisions and be flexible to change.
