Backstitch Gathering #5: Specialty folds- backward action in patchwork quilting
January 31 | 6:30-8:30pm
$10-20 suggested | More Info & Event Calendar

This session will focus on folds. Multi-disciplinary artist Heather Warfel Sandler guides us in creating specialty folds- pleats, pockets, and geometric flaps- that will be incorporated into the community quilt. By reversing the direction of fabric the cloth takes on a dimensional form, emphasizing that backwards action must be folded in for something dynamic to emerge.

Sewing + fiber art skills you’ll learn:

• Origami fabric folds

• Sewing pleats

• 3D quilting
