Say It in Fabric

Improvisational Lettering for Bold Art Quilts

In just two days, you’ll learn how to create bold, graphic quilt lettering using improvisational piecing techniques—without precision sewing, special rulers, or complicated patterns.

Lettering has long been an art form all its own, and in this class you’ll discover how to turn words into striking contemporary art quilts that express your ideas, personality, humor, or beliefs.

On Day One, we’ll start with the easiest alphabet letters and build confidence as you learn the fundamentals of improvisational letter construction. On Day Two, we’ll tackle more challenging letterforms and explore how to combine your letters into words, phrases, and dynamic compositions.

Whether you want to stitch a favorite quote, create a political statement, make something meaningful for a loved one, or simply experiment with text as design, this class will give you the tools to say it in fabric.

The best part? You only need a sewing machine and fabric from your stash. This is a fantastic stash-busting workshop where unexpected fabric combinations often create the most exciting results.

If you love quilting but dislike precision piecing, this class is for you. No perfect points required—just creativity, curiosity, and something you want to say.
