Take my Improv Puzzle  class from the comfort of your own home!

Create Improv Log Cabin blocks in a variety of sizes and put them together–like a jigsaw puzzle–into a fun original design. You can use a ruler or cut the blocks freehand. We will discuss color choices and using simple design principles to create an original dynamic composition.

Basic sewing skills and a sewing machine in good working order necessary. Confident beginner to advanced level.

Class is limited to 30 students.

Session 1: Tuesday January 21, 2025 from 1-4 PM EST

Session 2: Tuesday January 28, 2025 from 1-4 PM EST

Session 3: Tuesday February 4, 2025 from 1-4 PM EST

The first session will cover ideas about color and the techniques I use to create the Improv blocks freehand without patterns or templates, using prerecorded videos. You’ll also learn variations on the theme, from adding insets to making Angled Stripe units for additional interest.

In the second session, we’ll talk about design ideas and I’ll do a live demo of various ways to put your composition together into an exciting original design. There will be time for sewing in each of these sessions, so you can practice the techniques and ask questions while I’m on camera with you.

The third session is a feedback session. Send me your blocks or your finished design and I will put them into a presentation to share so I can give you positive, constructive feedback on finishing your composition. We’ll also have a more general discussion about composition in this session too.

The live sessions will be recorded and available to students for two months after class is over, so if you have to miss a session you can catch up easily.  Download the supply list here. (Navigate down the page to the red “Download Supply List” button)
