A great class for intermediate free-motion quilters. Learn practical skills that advanced quilters use without realizing they’re using them! From moving around the space to design placement, integrating these strategies will help quilters expand their confidence and ease with free motion quilting. Students should have an introduction to free-motion quilting before this class.

Pat Pauly: Within the Frame: Improvisational Piecing a Center Medallion
Friday 22 May 2026 (Follen Church)
9:00am — 4:00pm (limit 20)
$75 members; $90 non-members
Sew improvisationally made fabric to make blocks that either disappear or are highlighted as you set it in a background frame. With simple methods for scrambling fabric improvisationally with curves, thin lines, and angles, we’ll make a center that will be supported by a framework for a center medallion composition. Work with color, scale, and value is an important feature in bringing the composition to balance. Bold, graphic prints are a useful tool in piecing improv work, as they offer more shapes that maintain the images brought forth, so they are encouraged to be used in this class. It’s a great way to use one-of-a-kind prints.
