Learn how to hand block print using hand carved wooden blocks!
Join Ammu from House of Amu for a fun and creative block printing workshop at WMQFA!
Dive into the vibrant world of hand block printing using hand-carved wooden blocks crafted by artisans in India.
You'll explore how to gather inspiration, create designs, and experiment with patterns to print your own unique table runner—no templates, just your imagination. Whether you're a total newbie or an art enthusiast, this laid-back afternoon promises laughter, creativity, and a chance to play with paint (and maybe laugh at my jokes).
Bring a friend, and let’s make something beautiful together.
Block printing is one of the oldest forms of textile printing. Block printing uses wooden

fabric.

Workshop Outline:
In this hands-on session, participants will start by creating a textured fabric base and then freely interlace threads to form an organic composition. Guided by the instructor, you'll stitch a unique design, such as a tree, adding depth and character as you go. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a completed piece and the skills to continue exploring this creative technique on your own.

Workshop Description:
A quilted tank can be layered over a sweater or under a cardigan in winter, and is a breezy option in summer too! Heidi has been making these incredibly comfortable garments for herself since early 2022, and after practicing teaching a few friends to make them, she’s launching this class for the first time at the WMQFA.
Students will start with a top* that they love, that fits them well, and Heidi will guide them in creating a pattern, and sewing their very own top. In class, we will focus on making tanks from existing quilts, and Heidi will share her approach to self-quilting a top too. One thing’s for sure: once you perfect your pattern in class, you’ll want to make lots of these quilted tanks for yourself to wear.
*Your beloved template top will not be harmed in this workshop.

Class Fee: $160/ WMQFA Members (with member code); $185/Non Members
Class Description:
With deceptive simplicity, skilled English embroiderers worked the finest Flemish linen, called “lawne” with black silk. Blackwork embroidery decorated royal household linens as well as items of clothing like neckerchiefs worn by Henry VIII; a pair of sleeves owned by his third wife, Jane Seymour; and panels for Queen Elizabeth's kirtles, the bodices and skirts worn under her gowns.
Blackwork, also known as Spanish Work, is a type of counted thread embroidery thought to have originated in Spain. It was brought to England by Catherine of Aragon, who married Prince Arthur, the eldest son of King Henry VII. In spite of this pedigree, new evidence and research have shown that North Africa, particularly Morocco, may have been the true birthplace of this style of embroidery.
Modern Blackwork is traditionally stitched in black thread on white even-weave fabric but is often worked in multiple or other single colors, where repeating patterns are stitched with varying densities. Given the fact the stitches themselves are relatively simple – the vast array of complex patterns that can be created is amazing.
Start your Blackwork journey here. In the morning Kari will explain basic techniques while allowing you to practice some stitches, on 14 count Aida, that can be used for Blackwork. You will also learn how to create shading by both varying the weight of the threads and the density of the stitching. In the afternoon you will put these into practice on a piece designed especially for this class.

Workshop Description:
Quilts can squish into backpacks and unfurl into art galleries, but sometimes there’s a thrill in stretching them taut, just like a painting. This workshop will teach you to use a wooden frame and staples to display your quilt ‘stretched canvas style.’ You will also get an introduction to several exciting quiltmaking techniques:
Layered quilts: have a transparent layer on top, revealing fabric and thread beneath
Patchwork: involves ‘piecing’ small segments of fabric together to expand into a full-sized quilt top
‘Quilt as you go’: combines the acts of ‘piecing’ and ‘quilting’ (fusing your quilt top and batting/insides) into one efficient and unique-looking quilt
Embroidery: Maybe you want to skip the quilting phase and just frame an embroidery
Freeform Applique: Working with a base fabric, you can apply more fabric on top with raw edges or turned edges to create a complex composition
Students will receive access to Heidi’s on-demand version of this class in advance of our workshop, so they can practice ahead, or refresh their memories after we gather in person.**
In addition to standard quilting supplies, students will need a couple wooden frames, staples, and a staple gun in class.
**If a student needs a refund after they have received the PDF for Framed Quilts, they will still be charged the $85 value of the pdf content.

Workshop Description:
Have you ever tried to keep a paper diary? Sometimes it’s easier with cloth! Heidi will lead students in creating a Diary Quilt in this 5-day class. Students will receive a wealth of information in advance, with videos on handwork techniques, and a welcome video to spark creativity and offer guidance in collecting and packing fabrics. Quilt top construction will focus on hand piecing, but Heidi will also do a few sewing machine demos in class. Construction choices like this add to the diary effect by chronicling color preferences, found fabrics, trades, and daily whims around stitching with a machine, or by hand.
Heidi will insert strategies for efficient stitching, ways to balance abstraction and precision, and will guide students in riding the line between personal and public. A Diary Quilt can reframe the past, record the present, and represent dreams for the future. Different from a memoir, diaries are tools, holders of secrets, and spaces for play.
Heidi’s clear, yet gentle teaching style allows students to follow their own pace, reflect, intuit, and ultimately: create their own unique quilt top. On the morning of our final class together, we will make plans for quilting and discuss strategy around quilting style, thread color, and overall layout.
Participants will receive a surprise sewing kit personally curated by Heidi!
**If a student needs a refund after they have received the PDF for Framed Quilts or Diary Quilting, they should still be charged the $85 value of the pdf content.

loom and understand the process of making a warp and dressing the loom, as well as
the basics of weaving.
We will be making a small bird's eye sampler with a focus on playing with color interest
between weft and warp, as well as how variation in yarn weights effects a finished

Class Description:
Circles can be found throughout the natural world and in human designs from diverse cultures across millennia. Circles appeal to us on so many levels – they are simple and elegant; they’re curved, organic, and smooth, with no sharp corners; they evoke a comforting sense of completeness and totality; they’re in the hugs that embrace us and the nests that protect baby birds. Circles are as familiar as the dot of an “I” or the period at the end of a sentence. They come to us in images of the Earth from space. Circles are as tiny as a subatomic particle and as large as a black hole. In this workshop, we explore and create a sampler or small art quilt of circular motifs in bead embroidery. Working with a wide variety of beads, we will learn, design, and stitch a diverse range of circular forms that could also be used in future stitching on art quilts, garments, and other fiber art.
Lecture Description:
Author Judy Frater and will introduce her new book, Artisans by Design: An Odyssey of Education for Textile Artisans in India, on teaching design to traditional artisans in Kutch, India.

Discover the stunning creations of Adil M. Khatri, a talented bandhani artist, and Pachan P. Siju, a skilled weaver. Their work includes silk bandhani and clamp dyed scarves, and wool, cotton and silk hand woven scarves and ponchos. Each piece is made with care, utilizing natural and azo-free synthetic dyes for a safe and vibrant finish.
But that’s not all! Join us later at 6:00 PM for an inspiring book talk featuring these two remarkable artists and several others. Don’t miss this chance to dive into their creative journeys and the artistry behind their work!
