Free yourself from the need to use someone else’s pattern and appoint yourself head of your own design empire! View a gallery of original quilts and learn how to apply the engineering design process to your quilts. Learn to find and use sources of inspiration, harness software and manual tools, and be inspired by approachable improvisational techniques. NOTE: All lectures will take place in the Westin Peachtree Ballroom, approximately a 5-10 minute walk from the quilt show building.
