Have you ever tried to keep a paper diary? Sometimes it’s easier with cloth! Heidi will lead students in creating a Diary Quilt top in this 5-day class. Heidi will teach 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. Quilt top construction will focus on hand piecing, but Heidi will also do a few sewing machine demos in 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.

Class Schedule: Monday-Friday, May 12-16, 2025
10 am - 4 pm each day
