Speaker: Anatomy of an Improv Quilt by Cindy Grisdela (via Zoom)

Cindy Grisdela will be joining us virtually for a lecture on improv quilts. Have you ever wondered how to create an Improv Quilt without a pattern? Where do you start? How do you know when it’s finished? Author and award-winning artist Cindy Grisdela will share her tips and tricks in this entertaining lecture about the process for working improvisationally from start to finish.

Cindy Grisdela, from Reston, VA, is an award-winning fiber artist with over 30 years' experience creating eye-catching quilts. She specializes in improvisational quilt designs and dense free motion quilting, and she travels extensively all over the country teaching and lecturing to guilds and groups. She is excited by the opportunities to continue sharing her work using live online classes and lectures. Cindy is the author of Artful Improv: Explore Color Recipes, Building Blocks & Free Motion Quilting, published by C&T Publishing. Her quilt designs have been published in numerous books and magazines, and she appeared in three episodes of Quilting Arts TV—#2101, #2104, and #2213—discussing Fearless Curved Piecing, Scrappy Improv Blocks, and Secrets of the Art Show Circuit.
