Big Stitch Hand Quilting with Birdie Bird Batting
This workshop is an introduction to the beauty and simplicity of the big stitch. We will talk about, and employ the best and most affordable supplies, talk about technique, prepare the layers for stitching using flannel-backed Birdie Bird batting, and delve a little deeper into the running stitch.
You will find your own rhythmic, stitch length and explore additional ways in which you can use this technique, not just in quilt making. In addition to its beauty, hand-stitching can be a practical approach to daily, mindful practice.

Instructor Bio:
My studio is the lab where I learn, adapt and create; the place where new ideas emerge and balance is restored with each accomplishment and failure. I'm naturally curious about the creative process and employing new tools & techniques in order to grow as an artist and teacher.
In all workshops I encourage sustainability as a way to build confidence and community, with a back-to-basics approach and consciousness about resource use/waste.
I focus on the perfectly imperfect aspects of discovery, experimentation and most importantly, Living a satisfying life through creativity.
