The Winnipeg Modern Quilt Guild is excited to offer a workshop this spring with David Owen Hastings. David will guide you through a creative process for designing your own modern abstract quilts, taking inspiration from architectural photos to develop dynamic and unique quilt designs.
MONUMENTAL INSPIRATION WITH UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES
2 days, 3 hours each: Using photos of architectural elements, David will guide you through the steps to design a mini fabric quilt. We will use the quilt-as-you-go method, sewing the top pieces, batting and backing simultaneously. David will demonstrate facing your quilt, to give a more modern finish than traditional binding. Your mini quilt can be the final product (frame it, hang it, or make a pillow cover later), or it can be a test for a larger quilt. A PDF materials and supplies list will be emailed in advance. This workshop is two 3-hour live-stream events, conducted on Zoom, consisting of live instruction (no recording, please).
Date: Saturday and Sunday, March 5-6, 2022
Time: 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, Central Time (both days)
Location: Zoom-based virtual workshop
Cost: $70 and for non-members it's $80
To reserve your space at the workshop, please email winnipeg.mqg@gmail.com and you will be sent a PayPal link to make payment. As space is limited, registration for non-members will be opened at a later date. Watch for announcements.
Please note the workshop will not be recorded or made available to students at a later date. Just a like an in-person workshop, attendance is required to participate.

Hello! My name is David Owen Hastings. I’m a quilt designer and instructor, graphic designer, artist, and creative coach. I live in the lush (and often wet) Pacific Northwest, west of Seattle, Washington on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula. I’ve been knitting and sewing since I was a kid. There’s something magical in taking a length of yarn or a piece of fabric, and turning it into something useful and beautiful with your own hands. It’s enchanting. I’m one of the believers that crafts like knitting and quilting can be both an artistic expression, as well as good for the soul. In recent years, I have enjoyed creating some of my own textiles through dyeing and painting. I love incorporating these fabrics into quilts and wall pieces with a modern twist.
