Controlled Chaos with Giucy Giuce

Improv meets foundation paper piecing meets mystery quilt. Need I say more?! Join Giucy Giuce as he demonstrates his foundation paper pieced approach to improv sewing in this BRAND NEW workshop, Controlled Chaos: An FPPers Approach to improv! We'll draw improvisational elements at random from a bag. You will then learn to draft your own improv-inspired FPP designs based off the mystery element. The motifs will be the same, but everyone's pieces will be uniquely their own! You even have a choice of different layouts for your quilt, so the possibilities really are endless.
We’ll cover all sorts of looks and styles. Triangles, flying geese, stripes, wonky shapes. Not only will we be learning this exciting approach to improv sewing, but we will also dive heavily into color and talk about Giuseppe's favorite tool for choosing fabric: VALUE! Whether you're an FPP'er who loves the look of improv but long for the structure of paper piecing, or you're an improv sewist looking for a new way to approach your work, this workshop truly has something for everyone. Bring an adventurous spirit to what is sure to be an exciting workshop you won't want to miss!
