  Minimal Design, Maximum Impact

  Zoom lecture by
  

  David Owen Hastings

  Thursday, May 22, 2025

  6:30 pm - 8:00 pm (Arizona Time)

  
  

  The modern quilting movement is evolving and changing, but one thing remains consistent: simple, spare design combined with thoughtful quilting make an outstanding combination.
  

  In this talk, David will share an overview of his process for coming up with simple graphic quilt designs, starting with stitched paper models (called maquettes).  He will show examples of how to translate an architectural photo into a quilt design and have many samples of mini quilts he has created using this process.  The techniques he presents are also great for making unique modern quilt block designs.  He will talk about walking foot quilting and how to break free from stitch in the ditch.  

  Come join us as we learn more about modern quilt design from one of the leading artists in modern quilting today.

  Inspired by Architecture

  Zoom workshop by
  

  David Owen Hastings

  
  

  Saturday, June 7, 2025

  9:00 am - 3:00 pm (Arizona Time)

  $50 for members

  
  

  David will guide you through a creative process for designing your own modern abstract quilts, taking inspiration from architectural photos to develop dynamic and unique quilt designs.

  MONUMENTAL INSPIRATION WITH UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES

  Working from photos of architectural elements, David will guide you through the steps to design a mini modern fabric quilt… inspired by architecture! You will learn the quilt-as-you-go method, sewing the top pieces, batting and backing simultaneously. You’ll then add texture and complexity with David’s unique approach to walking foot machine quilting where the quilting lines become a major design element. Learn to connect multiple quilted units with a great gusset join technique, then add a simple faced binding for a modern finish.

  • Experiment with different elemental geometric shapes, including gentle curves.
    
  • Explore spare, simple compositions for a modern look.
  • Think about figure and ground.
  • Consider the sewing lines as a key design element.

  This is an all-levels workshop.  You should be comfortable using your sewing machine, and it should be in good working order.  Basic knowledge of walking foot quilting is helpful, but not necessary.
