We are excited to announce several workshop opportunities with Sarah Goer in October! Sarah Goer is a former middle school math teacher turned quilt teacher who is primarily inspired by geometry and architecture and loves bold, vibrant, saturated color. Much of Sarah’s work is created from a perspective of “planned improv,” working from a set of rules she creates for herself. In workshops, Sarah guides students to learn a set of parameters for their quilt design and decide when to follow or break their rules. All Sarah’s classes are taught from a perspective of creativity and curiosity, encouraging students to take what she’s taught and feel free to put their own spin on it. You can find Sarah’s work on her website at www.sarahgoerquilts.com.
Excited? Check out what Sarah has to say about her October visit in this video.

All About Angles (6-hour workshop)
This 6-hour workshop includes cutting and piecing techniques to construct slabs to use as the building blocks for a project of any size… all without any math. Come play with angles in an easy and forgiving way to create a piece with great movement in your design. The class is fat quarter friendly. Students can expect to leave with their first 1-2 dozen units, which can be combined to become a finished mini quilt or built upon for a larger project. Quilting ideas will be discussed. Read more about the workshop and see the supply list.
