PAST Workshops
Past Workshop: Little Landscapes
Our presenter for our February 18 Lecture and Feb 19 workshop was LeAnn Hileman, leannhilemanartquilts.com. LeAnn is an award winning landscape quilter from Glendale, AZ. In 2020 she won the Outstanding Artistry award at Road to California. She presented via Zoom.
Using Karen Eckmeier’s book Accidental Landscapes, we will create two little landscape quilts in our workshop. There are two very important principles we will stress: first, keep it simple (while we’re learning) and layering. This book was so instrumental in my learning process that I use it over and over to teach basic starting points in creating landscape quilts. No matter how complex my final landscape quilt might end up, it had to start at a beginning, preferably a simple one. And because these are little, no worries about wasting fabric!

TEXTILE TOTEMS – Quilted Wall Sculptures
On January 22nd, 2021 we had our 1st Virtual Workshop. Michelle Watts was our teacher.
Friday January 22nd 10am - 4pm
Textile Totems are a fresh, new idea. The totems combine easy piecing techniques with your
favorite embellishments. Students will work on a one of a kind quilted wall sculpture. I will
share a variety of different creative design ideas. I will discuss and demonstrate the basic
layout and assembly process. I will share some of my favorite decora>ve embellishments,
including decora>ve machine stitches, quilting, beads, buttons, and yarns. I will
demonstrate how to finish your wall sculpture and get it ready to hang. I will have lots of
photos and examples to share with everyone. Students will work on a single totem during
class. Feel free to work on a small collec>on (3 or more) if you prefer.
