Intuitive Quilting with Erin Lee Gafill

Introduction to Intuitive Quilting

Learn how to stitch, design, and quilt a textile entirely by hand! In this three hour workshop, you will learn new skills, tap into your intuition, enjoy slow-stitching with new friends, and explore a variation of Kawandi-style (outside in) quilt methods. Bust into your fabric stash, up-cycle old garments, and create an individual work of art!

If you’re exhausted from over-thinking, curious about slow-stitching and/or upcycling, have an ever-growing stash of mis-matched textiles, enjoy the companionship of other stitchers, or any of the above, this is the workshop for you! No skills or previous experience necessary.
