Join quilt artist and instructor Margo Ellis for this 4-week creative workshop exploring color, pattern, and imagination through fabric. Using a boldly printed fabric as inspiration, students will “find” fishy features within the print and design a one-of-a-kind imaginary fish, then assemble, machine appliqué, and quilt their piece into a finished wall hanging or table mat. This playful class is perfect for those with basic machine sewing skills and a love of whimsy and experimentation.

*Classes meet from 12:30-3:30pm on Tuesdays in February, beginning February 3rd, 2026.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• ½ yard boldly printed fabric (Seam Shoppe staff can help you select)

• ½ yard HeatnBond Lite

• ½ yard background fabric

• ¼ yard fabric for borders

• Thread to coordinate or contrast

  Backing and batting can be purchased after your fish design is completed.

Workshop Price: $140

Notes:

The Seam Shoppe is the only fabric store in town and their staff is very helpful. Look at the samples in the store of color ideas. They offer a 10% discount to my students.
