• LECTURE/DEMO #1 – LOCOMOTION – Break free from blocks and sewing straight seams. Find freedom in curved piecing and learn a precision technique without using quarter-inch seams. Learn the process to create original, curve-pieced artful quilts that are innovative and aesthetically pleasing. Not only will you learn to design using pieced curves, you’ll learn Ricky‘s easy, no-pins technique to accurately reproduce your design in fabric. As a bonus, you will explore ways to create transparency in your quilt design. See photo of quilt example on PAQA website under classes/workshops.(1.5 hours)

• LECTURE/DEMO #2 – RHAPSODY – You will learn how to make a beautiful appliqué quilt without making typical square blocks. Ricky’s Rhapsody quilt method will teach the complete design process as well as the techniques used in making these quilts. These quilts look challenging, but in truth, are easier than most traditional quilts. Although Ricky will teach his method using a machine, this also can be done by hand. See photo of quilt example on PAQA website under classes/workshops. (1.5 hours)

• LECTURE/DEMO #3 – KOOL KALEIDOSCOPE AND GRIDIFIED ART QUILTS – Ricky‘s Kool Kaleidoscope method is an amazingly simple and straightforward way to use strip sets to generate a dynamic kaleidoscope result. Gridified art quilts are made from traditional patchwork units combined with theme blocks. Both processes are accessible and rewarding to quilters of all levels of expertise.  See photos of quilt examples on PAQA website under classes/workshops. (1.5 hours)
