2026 Workshops & Classes
Charles Cameron: Crooked Crosses & Bent Boxes
March 12 – 14, 2026
The workshop will kick off with a detailed overview of the pattern to orient the participants. Hands-on instruction will be provided for each step of the Crooked Crosses and Bent Boxes quilt pattern and classroom time will be allowed for participants to progress toward making a 60” x 50” throw size quilt.
‘Semi-improv’ is a technique for those who want the look and feel of improv, but who aren’t quite ready to give up their rulers. The pattern uses efficient, traditional piecing techniques like strip piecing and nested seams.

Latifah Saafir Workshop: Half Rectangle Triangle Design School
July 23 – 25, 2026
Take your quilting to the next level with the bold, versatile Half Rectangle Triangle (HRT)!
In this immersive three-day workshop, you’ll master the techniques for cutting, sewing, and trimming perfect HRTs — then discover just how limitless they are as a design tool.
Beyond standard shapes like chevrons, diamonds and arrows we’ll explore whole quilt designs, radiating layouts and inventive block based desgins. You’ll build a “design vocabulary” of HRT-based blocks and explore how color, scale, and proportion transform them into show-stopping quilts. With plenty of guided design play, you’ll experiment on the design wall, sketch layouts, and scale your ideas into a finished quilt top that’s uniquely your own.

This class culminates in the creation of a unique and fabulous kaleidoscope block. Often effects more wonderful than you imagine occur, making you both the one who makes the magic and the one who is surprised!
