Join Heidi Parkes for an in-depth discussion of her approach to hand quilting in three parts. First, stitch formation and improvisation will be discussed with lots of visuals of her quilts, in reference to the evolution of Heidi’s own design aesthetic. Second, hand quilting will be covered in regard to materials and her use of thick, visible thread. Finally, Heidi is a certified yoga therapist, and has worked with an occupational therapist to create a sustainable approach to hand quilting; the technique will be reviewed with videos and explanations in connection to health and sustainability for the quilter’s body.
