Join me + Atlas Obscura for an exploration of quilting drawn from the long tradition of sampler quilts. You’ll learn to create a quilt from start to finish—tracing the history and variations of twelve quilt blocks, including the Nine Patch, Flying Geese, Pineapple, Shoo Fly, Churn Dash, and many others. Along the way, we’ll break down foundational quilt construction techniques such as fabric selection, layouts, basting, binding, and quilting. Whether you're new to quilting, want to refresh your creativity, or seeking a new project, this course will offer a hands-on introduction to the art of quilting for learners of all skill levels. By the end of our time together, you’ll not only have a new repertoire of quilting skills, but you’ll also have the techniques to showcase those skills in a beautiful and bespoke sampler quilt.
