Tara Miller Presents
Mixing prints doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—in fact, it can be the most joyful part of the process. In this workshop, I’ll show you how to break out of the “matching” mindset and start combining fabrics from different designers, collections, and eras with ease.
You’ll learn how to mix color, scale, and motif in a way that feels intentional, personal, and a little bit daring.
Let’s turn fabric chaos into quilt magic—together.
Techniques: Color, style, confidence
Class Fee Members: $35.00
Class Fee Non-Members: $50.00
Skill level: Creative beginner and beyond!
Supply List Coming Soon
Gentle curves, bold blocks, and endless possibilities.
The curved seams in Legacy Wheel are soft, approachable, and perfect for anyone new to curved piecing. If you’re already comfortable with curves, you’ll love how smoothly these blocks come together—no stress, just rhythm and flow.
Each block finishes at a striking 24 inches, so you can create a statement-size quilt in surprisingly little time.
This workshop suits quilters new to curves as well as experienced makers seeking a focused, skill-building project that goes together quickly and delivers a bold, big-block finish.
Class Fee Members: $45.00
Class Fee Non-Members: $60.00
