Nationally known contemporary quilt artist, Cindy Grisdela will teach us to cut curves freehand without templates or patterns in this fun workshop. Adding dots, skinny lines, wonky triangles and more will give each curve its own personality, then combine them to create your own fun original design. Cindy will talk about color and design, techniques, and composition to help us create our unique quilts. Basic sewing skills and a sewing machine in good working order are necessary.
