  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!

  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

  Modern Before Modern

  with Tara Miller

  
  

  Doors open at 9:00am; meeting begins at 9:45pm.

  
  

  Tara Miller Presents:

  Modern Before Modern

  
  

  What comes to mind when you think of Modern Quilts?

  In this lecture, we’ll take a fresh look at unexpected modernism in quilts made long before the Modern Quilt Movement began. From the early 1800s through the 1980s, we’ll explore quilts that echo many of the design elements we now associate with the modern aesthetic. This conversation invites us to uncover the deep roots of our collective quilting journey—and to swoon over some tantalizingly modern antique quilts along the way.

  
  

  In-person meeting location:  Westminster Presbyterian Church, 3208 Exposition Blvd, Austin, TX 78703

  AAQG General Meeting is a HYBRID meeting 

  
  

  Doors Open at 6:00 PM - Come hang out!

  Meeting Begins at 6:45

  SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER:  Tara Miller

  Presents

  Fire of My Foremothers:

  Let’s get connected—to the quilts and the women who came before us.

  We’ll dig into vintage and antique quilts (many of these from my collection) and read them like the material culture love letters they are. We’ll talk fabric (feedsacks, calicos, and surprise prints), design choices (patterned or improvised?), and the creative pathways behind them—whether sparked by a published pattern, traded among friends, or improvised with scraps.

  We’ll bust a few myths, date a few quilts, and unlock the subtle clues that reveal the hands and lives behind the needle—our foremothers stitching boldness, beauty, and practicality into every seam.

  History never looked so good—or said so much.
