Modern Improv Vintage Soul
Modern Improv Meets Vintage Charm
What happens when expressive, modern improvisational piecing meets the timeless beauty of vintage textiles?
In this workshop, we'll use treasured vintage linens - think doilies, embroidered tea towels, dresser scarves, and lace - as the inspiration for a contemporary improvisational quilt. Rather than following a traditional pattern, you'll explore a series of guided techniques while creating a small piece inspired by the sample.

Ripple Effect
Improvisationally curious? Improv is a great way to break free of traditional piecing rules and challenge your creativity. Skills taught will include: color & fabric combinations, straight lines, triangles, curves, and putting together segments. Bring your scraps and create a small sample for each skill, or build up to a larger final project. You will finish this class with a toolbox full of techniques to create more expressive, spontaneous work in the future.
*Kit fee $15.00, optional.

Lisa Erlandson Presents
String-plique
String your appliqué to a whole new level of fun!
Skill level: All levels welcome (Confident beginner and up)
Dive into a vibrant world of scraps, strings, and creativity with the String-pliqué® technique—a cheerful twist on fused appliqué that turns fabric strips into bold, expressive designs. Rooted in tradition, string quilting has been found in American quilts for over a century—treasured for its resourcefulness, color, and charm.
This modern take honors that legacy while adding fresh flair and playful possibilities.
In this workshop, you’ll choose from several whimsical patterns, including:
Crazy Daisy – A blooming burst of color (14" x 18")
HeartStrings – A sweet scatter of scrappy hearts (22" x 22")
Scotties on a String – Spunky little terriers with “paws-itive” personality (22" x 22")
Whether you lean toward bold rainbows or subtle scrappy blends, the design possibilities are as limitless as your fabric basket.
