PIECING PALOOZA

August 23rd, 2022

1 pm-5 pm

Recording available afterward

C&T Publishing’s Piecing Palooza is pure summertime fun. A four-hour event with over a dozen live sessions, a panel discussion, and a keynote speaker to help you become an expert piecer!

We gathered quilt piecing experts to share all their pro tips, tricks, and techniques with you. Alex Anderson, co-host of The Quilt Show, kicks off the fun as the opening keynote. A beloved figure in the quilting community, Alex sets the tone for the event by sharing her love of patchwork. 

Next, get inspired with 12 30-minute workshops! You’ll get a bespoke experience by joining breakout rooms of your choice that focus on specific piecing subjects, from working with fabric scraps to hand piecing to sewing accurate Flying Geese every time — and so much more! 

Sessions include: 

  • Color Schemes for Scrap Quilting  (Judy Gauthier)
  • Find your Zen with Hand-piecing (Becky Goldsmith)
  • Beyond Basic Dresdens: Piecing within the Wedge (Candyce Grisham)
  • Foundation Paper Piecing 101 (Mary Hertel)
  • Playful Piecing with Panels (Cyndi McChesney)
  • Rapid Piecing with Precision (Lee Chappell Monroe)
  • No Fuss Flying Geese Blocks (Patty Murphy)
  • Making Piece With your Sewing Machine (Bernie Tobisch)
  • Pinless Piecing & Press as You Go (Shelley Scott-Tobisch)
  • Mastering Color Palettes with Gray-Tone Block Tools (Amy Barrett-Daffin)
  • Building Your Skills with C&T’s Block Tools (Gailen Runge)

Whether you love paper piecing, hand piecing, or want to be a better precision piecer, every quilter can gain valuable skills to level up their craft. 

Worried you’ll miss out on a session? No worries! If you are unable to attend live, all sessions will be recorded for viewing at your leisure.
