Workshops

May 16th: Log Cabin / Courthouse Steps

Foundations in Quiltmaking

Join me for an in-person workshop in May just outside Austin. We’ll explore two foundational quilt blocks at the heart of American quiltmaking: Log Cabin and Courthouse Steps. You’ll learn essential skills like accurate strip piecing and consistent seam allowances, and complete at least one block (or begin both, if time allows). Leave with the confidence to continue piecing these timeless structures at home.

July 29–August 2 · Casa Portal, Maine creative arts retreat with Natalie Davis & Maura Ambrose

Engaging the Senses

Over four days, we’ll gather in a quiet, wooded setting to explore a sensory approach to creativity through hands-on making, herbal crafting, time in nature, and sound. The days are gently structured, leaving room for rest, reflection, and your own pace.

This is a small-group experience designed to support a deeper connection to your creative process—grounded in place, material, and attention.

August 7–9 · Weekend of quilting and mending with Katrina Rodabaugh & Maura Ambrose

HANDMADE MATTERS

Join us this August in upstate New York for a weekend workshop with Katrina Rodabaugh, held in her barn studio in the Hudson Valley. Together we’ll gather for handwork—quilting, mending, and stitching—moving between making, shared meals, and time in the gardens.

This is an immersive, small-group experience rooted in handcraft, material awareness, and creative intuition. Over the course of the weekend, we’ll explore ways of working that honor process, place, and the quiet rhythm of making.
