Join Aaron Sanders Head Head for an exploration of naturally dyed, hand-pieced quilts. On day 1, participants will explore natural dyes. We’ll explore indigo and shibori to create beautiful, unique patterns on fabric, and beautiful varying shades of solid blue. The fabric created on day 1 will be combined with fabric scraps provided by Aaron and by students to create their quilts on day 2. On day 2, participants will learn the basics of hand-piecing techniques, with a focus on the traditional technique of foundation string piecing. String piecing uses scraps of precious fabric, sewn on a foundation square, to create interesting, polished blocks. After learning the basics of string piecing, Aaron will demonstrate a few additional piecing and cutting variations to create a multitude of orientations, blocks and quilt designs.
