Art Quilts by Tina Curran

Workshops for Individuals — live via Zoom

With the broad adoption of Zoom and to address the need of quilters who would like to take classes in addition to those offered by their quilt guilds — or who aren’t part of a guild — I started teaching virtual workshops in Summer 2021. These are intended for groups made up of individuals (or groups of friends) from all around the country — and the world! Each student will “Zoom-in” from the comfort of their own sewing space.

Below are the workshops I am currently offering.

Join me for a fun day making your own field of poppies. You could make traditional California poppies (orange with green stems) or poppies in any color you wish. This 25” x 40” quilt is made using the paper-piecing technique. Whether you're comfortable with paper-piecing, need a refresher or want to learn the technique, this class is for all levels.

You can find the supply list for this workshop at this link.

The pattern is available in two formats: 

• Either as an instantly downloadable pdf at this link, or

• Printed on paper and shipped via the mail at this link. 

Using paper piecing, we'll construct at least one block of cones and then use appliqué (your choice of hand, machine or raw edge) to add the scoops of ice cream. Students can opt to make either a 42" x 63" quilt or an 18" quilted pillow. You can find more information about this online class by watching this short video I made about it. Whether you're comfortable with paper-piecing, need a refresher or want to learn the technique, this class is for all levels.

Let's hit the beach! Make your own aerial view of a beach scene. This class combines regular piecing and machine appliqué to make this 31” x 39” quilt. This class is for all levels.

Join me to make a picture book quilt for a little one in your life, using novelty fabrics you select for the covers. We’ll use paper-piecing to make the book blocks that you can turn into either a 60” h x 40” w quilt or a 20” quilted reading pillow — your choice. Whether you're comfortable with paper-piecing, need a refresher or want to learn the technique, this class is for all levels.
