IN PERSON: Quilt Blocks to Quilty Books with Pati Fried

IN PERSON: Class, Saturday, March 16, 10AM - 3PM PST 

Bay Quilts

Quilt Blocks to Quilty Books

Let’s Play! Gather up your leftover blocks to create a fabric quilt book! Using a few stray blocks, buttons, ribbons or even yo yo’s, you spend the day creating fun and improvisational pages to fill your quilty book. Your book might tell a story, be a gift for a toddler, or simply showcase your love of quilting. You decide! 

Pati will share a few bookmaking techniques that transfer well to fabric books, including interactive pages that fold out, hold something in a pocket or pop up to greet you! She will also have tips on how to jazz up or resize a block, along with how to curate a cohesive story with what you have. 

Most of all, it is a day to jumpstart your creativity while adding personality and purpose to your pile of lonely quilt blocks.

About the instructor: 

Pati Fried studied graphic design in college, but always found herself lingering in the textile department. After graduating and working in corporate marketing for several years, she finally discovered quilting and was hooked. Mixing pattern, color and texture is a perfect fit for her, both as a quilter and a designer. She is a fabric and pattern designer, a popular quilt blogger for See How We Sew, and her work has been featured in quilting magazines.

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 consignments 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.
