Vignettes Quilt VIDEO Workshop
Vignettes Quilt VIDEO Workshop
This is a 2.5 hour instructional video on my Vignettes Quilt Pattern! It was originally filmed and edited for the pattern’s release with QuiltCon Together in 2021. Since then, I have adjusted the editing myself, and added an additional 30 minutes of new footage. It is filmed efficiently to maximize your learning time, and it follows me though the entire piecing process. The filming was done in my REAL living room/studio space, and is the most authentic view possible into my approach to quilt-making and the pattern.
This is an improv quilt pattern, so each maker’s result will be unique. I guide students intimately through the decision making process around the blocks. Then, for the composition step where we assemble the blocks into a single quilt, I show a variety of options and break down my aesthetic reasoning and technical considerations for the composition that I went with.
The Vignettes Quilt is exciting for two reasons:
1) The vignettes approach to piecing, and making a patchwork from blocks that are a variety of sizes.
2) It will increase you art vocabulary, and give you more confidence talking about your quilts.
I hope you’ll join me in this special video class!
