In this workshop, participants will dive into the fascinating world of folded fabric circles with Rachaeldaisy’s “Whizz Bang” method, discovering how to transform a simple piece of fabric into breathtaking textured circles and patterns.

Over four enriching days, they will explore the art of kaleidoscopic circles and layered patterns, using folded triangles in various ways.

The workshop will begin with creating folded fabric circles, experimenting with different techniques. Along the way, participants will learn how to bring blocks to life in quilts, incorporate them creatively, and explore different quilting options. Depending on their pace, participants will have the opportunity to create between 8 and 12 circles. Rachaeldaisy will ensure that everyone leaves with a solid plan to incorporate their creations into a project. By the end of the workshop, participants will walk away with a renewed appreciation for the art of folded fabric quilting and the skills to continue exploring their own creative vision with these techniques.

These wonderfully versatile techniques are suitable for both beginners and more experienced sewists looking for a fun and different approach. The circles will primarily be machine sewn, though participants can also choose to hand sew if they prefer.

Numerous quilts by Rachaeldaisy will be available as examples, providing participants with inspiration for their own work. They can choose to draw inspiration from one of Rachaeldaisy’s Whizz Bang-style quilts or bring their own ideas and receive guidance on how to bring their vision to life.
