Pati Fried
Finding My Voice
I discovered quilting 25 years ago. My roots are in traditional quilting, but the clean aesthetics of Modern Design appeals to my background in Graphic Design. This has led me on a quest to merge what I love most of these to styles to express my own voice in my work.
Follow along as I share my ups and downs, successes and failures, and tips on how to find your own voice.

Sarah Goer
Building a Color Palette
Sarah Goer is a former middle school math teacher turned quilt teacher who is primarily inspired by geometry and architecture and loves bold, vibrant, saturated color. Much of Sarah’s work is created from a perspective of “planned improv”, working from a set of rules she created for herself.
Sarah loves color and looks forward to telling you all about how she uses color to create dynamic compositions. Through a slide show of her work, Sarah will discuss a wide variety of ways to choose color for your quilts. She will discuss ways to look at your fabric collection with new eyes.

Piece Curves and Play with Transparency
Are you intimidated by curves but love precision piecing? Start the Cool as a Cactus quilt in
class, featuring pieced curves, a unique border treatment, and color palette that features
transparency. Class will begin with an exercise in creating transparency effects, then we
work from paper templates to accurately cut and piece large diameter curves. Learn to cut
and precisely piece large-diameter curves from templates, assemble a quilt top with pieced
borders, and plan a color palette that includes a transparency effect. Leave class with at least one block and border complete.
Cost: $65 for MPQG members
Students must purchase the digital pattern from Karen
