Organic Shapes with Carolina Oneto

First off let me say that the Modern QUilting world is a big and generous world. I was able to participate in this virtual workshop with a teacher who is living in Buenos Aires with a quilt guild in Rochester, all while I am in yet another location, and it worked out great. I have not been able to get a class in person with Carolina at QuiltCon, and so the chance to do this was too good not to take. She has had some really gorgeous quilts in that show, and while I did not have a need to learn this technique--I already have so many UFO's that I have joined not one but in 2026 will be adding another one to be able to stay on task and quilt more, so that I can continue to get inspired and do more and work my way through my truely impressive stash of fabric. Oh, and also so that I might have way to much to do that when I retire I am relieved to be able to spend more time in this hobby. The class we all took was an improv round shapes class. Think building cairns with stones, but they are more colorful, and do not have to balance on each other. The thing I like about this expereince beyond the actual learning and expanding my ideas and skill set is that it is so convivial to be with strangers in a virtual environment and create together. My own quilt guild, which I am deeply invovled with and invested in, is in a city I do not live in--so I know most of the members virtually. I do meet up with some people IRL on occasion, but most of it is while I am in my parlor or my dining room at home, and I feel connected and that I know them. As a non-gamer, this is a new experience for me, and my creativity has been expanded exponentially through this. Can't wait to do another course like this!
