About the Event

IN PERSON: Sunday, October 20, 10AM - 2PM

This class will be held at Bay Quilts

With the right fabrics, an improvisational stained glass quilt practically glows. 

It sounds simple, take some scraps, fat quarters or yardage, cut out triangles, rectangles, or other shapes, of various sizes, and sew them together with narrow strips of contrasting fabric. Trim them into blocks of the same size, or not. Turns out that it’s harder than it looks to sew all these random shapes together, but Claire makes it easy with her encouragement, and tricks of the trade.

This class is great for learning to design your quilt as you go and developing your improvisational thinking.

This is a technique class versus a product class meaning you'll learn a new skill and will have lots of time to practice rather than completing a quilt top.

Skill level: ✂️✂️

You have used a sewing machine and have a made a quilt or two before. You already have some piecing and quilting skills and are ready to learn more.

Supplies: You will receive the fabric requirements once you sign up. Bay Quilts is glad to help you select fabrics for your quilt. 

Sewing Machines and Equipment: You will need to bring your sewing machine and basic sewing supplies to class. The specific tools you need will be included in the supply list.

About the instructor: 

Inspired by a neighbor’s Victorian crazy quilt, Claire Sherman started making her first quilt at age 13. There were no quilters in her family, so she taught herself, making it up as she went along. Improvisational quilting is still her favorite method of quilt design. Twenty years after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, with a BFA in ceramics, she rediscovered her love of quilting. Claire has taught workshops in quilting and other crafts for adults and children

throughout California.

Location:

This class is being held at the Bay Quilts located at 5327 Jacuzzi St. 3-C, Richmond, CA 94804. Bay Quilts is run by Sally Davey and her daughter, Abbey-Shane  a team of lifelong artists and crafters who have been in the quilting industry for over 30 years. They opened Bay Quilts to share their passion and knowledge with the vision of creating a community where artists, crafters, quilters, and makers of all ability can learn, grow, and create together.  This unique fabric shop is so much more than a store - from consignment quilts and gifts, and cloth figures to monthly gallery exhibitions and artist receptions to workshops.  Bay Quilts is a sanctuary for creatives of all skill level. Bay Quilts is generously offering a 10% discount to students on the day of the class.

The classroom space is on the 2nd level so you will need to be able to climb a flight of stairs. There is a convenient caddy so you don't have to carry your equipment up the stairs.

Cancellation Policy:

Class fees are non-refundable. However you may transfer the class to a friend if you let us know in advance.
