3005E – Perfectly Imperfect

$128.00

Lisa Hofmann-Maurer

Location: Room E10C

One day

Wednesday, June 25th 2025

From 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

 



Skill level: Intermediate

Description: In this 6h workshop we’ll explore the improv curves by piecing a few blocks of my “perfectly imperfect quilt”. In my teaching journey I noticed that a lot of quilters are afraid of “the curve” and won’t even try piecing one. Or if they ever tried they’ll not do it again, as it didn’t turn out as perfect as they would have loved it to be. In this class, we’ll approach the curves from an improvisational side. Students will learn how to piece those “imperfect” curves and will get a lot of practice doing so. Later on – if they desire – they might even be able to sew a “perfect” curve, just because it was so much fun sewing those “imperfect” ones. If you’re a seasoned curve piecer you’ll learn my technique on how to approach those improv curves without the use of templates or a lot of planning. We will also talk a little bit about color, fabric and value of colors, to be able to make the right choices for an impressive quilt. We will aim to make a smaller project or the beginning of a larger piece. It's going to be a lot of fun!
