Art Quilts by Tina Curran

Workshops for Individuals — live via Zoom

With the broad adoption of Zoom and to address the need of quilters who would like to take classes in addition to those offered by their quilt guilds — or who aren’t part of a guild — I started teaching virtual workshops in Summer 2021. These are intended for groups made up of individuals (or groups of friends) from all around the country — and the world! Each student will “Zoom-in” from the comfort of their own sewing space.

Below are the workshops I am currently offering.

Have fun and learn to sew your own garden. My most popular workshop, this pattern uses two techniques -- regular piecing to make the background and raw edge appliqué to make the foreground. What’s fun about these quilts is they all come out differently, based what the students bring to class. This workshop is for all levels.

You can find the supply list for this workshop at this LINK. You can use flower heads cut from floral fabrics you have OR make your own flowers using free flower-shaped templates and petal-shaped templates found online with any fabric of your choice. I'll show you how!

The pattern is available in two formats:

• Either as an instantly downloadable pdf at this LINK, or

• Printed on paper and shipped via the mail at this LINK.

Learn to make a herringbone quilt or a quilted pillow with no paper-piecing nor Y-seams! This pattern uses regular piecing and just might change your life! This class is for all levels.

Depending on what you want to make in the workshop, there are two supply lists:

• You can find the supply list for the 40” x 50” quilt at this link.

• You can find the supply list for the 20” quilted pillow at this link.

The pattern is available in two formats: 

• Either as an instantly downloadable pdf at this link, or

• Printed on paper and shipped via the mail at this link. 

Using paper piecing, we'll construct at least one block of cones and then use appliqué (your choice of hand, machine or raw edge) to add the scoops of ice cream. Students can opt to make either a 42" x 63" quilt or an 18" quilted pillow. You can find more information about this online class by watching this short video I made about it. This class is for all levels.
