New Online Quilting Workshops
Improv Curves Primer Series
Enroll Today! Seats are limited.
Inspired by the Blossom retreat at Clos Mirabel last May, I’ve crafted a trio of online workshops to help you sew organic freestyle curves—your way!
The Improv Curves Primer Series offers a clear, engaging curriculum to:
boost curve confidence and creative flow,
expand your curve-piecing tool kit,
retrain your mind’s eye to think and see curves, not squares.
My digital sabbatical is just a year away, making this Fall’s Improv Curves Primer series your last opportunity to improvise curves with me online until late 2028. Seats are limited to 150. Reserve your spot and get ready to OWN YOUR CURVE!

More About the Improv Curves Primer Series
OWN YOUR CURVE!
The lush, organic lines and vibrant colors of the May Blossom Retreat at Clos Mirabel captured my heart and my imagination. I want everyone—not just those who could travel to France—to experience that breakthrough feeling of owning your curve. That's why I created the Improv Curves Primer—a focused livestream series that distills the retreat’s essence and empowers you to confidently express your unique voice through curves.
In September: Refine your signature curve. Boost your confidence with color, rhythm, line and technique. Learn a reliable method to create flowing, curves that soften the grid every time.
In October: Learn bias-strip curve piecing on the curve. Expand your technique tool kit and your ability to realize your vision.
In November: Grasp the basics of curve piecing and composition. Making organic freestyle curves may seem hard, but once you learn how curve piecing works, composing off‑grid and on the fly gets easy.
Join me for one, two or all three Improv Curve workshops in this thoughtfully curated series.
I can’t wait to see what you create!
