Teacher Spotlight: Maria Shell


 

Maria will be coming from her home in Alaska to teach two classes at QSDS during the

first week. She is the author of “Improv Patchwork–Dynamic Quilts Made with Line & Shape.” She is renowned for the wonderful graphic quality of her quilts.


Maria’s 5-day class will be “Big Botany--Abstraction Through Color, Pattern & Repetition” She will show you how to start with a flower, tree branches, a leaf, or a section of a landscape as inspiration and then transform  into a dramatic pieced quilt. Look at what her students have created!



On the first weekend, Maria will teach her “Circle & Curve Sampler,” which will give you time to experiment with a variety of wavy, curvy, arching shapes that will expand your repertoire of piecing skills. Maria is great at helping her students master improvisational techniques, but you will also go home with a new sense of confidence about design.
