If you don’t already know Blair Stocker, you should. She is a creative force in the quilting world, inventor of the Ruby Ruler, and an Instagram phenom… and she will be sharing her talents in person this spring!

Join author and quilt maker Blair Stocker for an inspiring 5-day workshop that delves into the art of color-value based patchwork quilting and the vintage charm of chicken scratch embroidery. Over the first two days, you'll explore Blair's intuitive techniques for combining light and dark fabrics to create the visually dynamic "Starflake" quilt. This quilt has been exhibited at Quiltcon, and its rich depth of color, value, and design has made it consistently one of Blair's most popular quilts.

On the 3rd and 4th days, immerse yourself in the vintage craft of chicken scratch embroidery—a charming form of hand embroidery featuring delicate, grid-based patterns traditionally worked on gingham fabric. Learn simple stitches that combine to form intricate and decorative designs. This hands-on workshop is designed to inspire and elevate your quilting practice, introducing new techniques and fresh ideas to invigorate your creative journey. We will also be taking a visit to the incredible Museum of International Folk Art top off our creative tanks and find even more inspiration!

We have partnered with Santa Fe Sewing Center to provide machine rental at very reasonable rates. Please contact us with any questions!
