Get ready for four unforgettable days of quilting with one instructor, one project, and one incredible opportunity to deepen your skills. At the AQS Seam Quilt Retreat, you’ll choose the instructor who inspires you and spend the entire retreat learning directly from them in a focused, hands-on setting. Group lunches and evening events bring all retreat attendees together. However, your learning experience is in a private classroom with your chosen instructor and classmates.
No Machine Required - Hand Class
Session Description:
Join Heidi Proffetty for an immersive experience as she teaches you how to create stunning mosaic art quilts using her unique method. Over the course of four days, you’ll explore the art of fabric mosaics from start to finish, learning essential techniques, tools, and tips through hands-on exercises, demonstrations, and engaging presentations. By the end of the retreat, you’ll have a beautifully completed mosaic quilt top and the knowledge to continue creating these eye-catching designs long after the retreat ends.
Highlights:
- Learn Heidi’s unique method for creating mosaic quilts using fabric
- Explore the full process of mosaic quilt design, from concept to completion
- Create a stunning “Heart of Flowers” mosaic wall quilt
- Enjoy hands-on guidance with demonstrations, presentations, and practical exercises
Project Description:
Create your very own Heart of Flowers, a vibrant mosaic wall quilt made from tiny fabric pieces. Through Heidi's expert guidance, you’ll design and assemble intricate mosaics without using traditional ceramic tiles, transforming fabric into stunning quilted art. While the majority of the retreat will focus on completing your quilt top, you'll also receive instructions for finishing the quilt at home, including tips on thread, needles, and machine setup for quilting.
