Cindy Grisdela Lecture and Workshop
In May Cindy Grisdela presented her lecture Anatomy of an Improv Quilt and taught her workshop Focus on Improv. Thank you Cindy for sharing your knowledge on Improv with our guild members.
Cindy Grisdela, from Reston, VA, is an award-winning fiber artist with over 30 years' experience creating eye-catching quilts. She specializes in Improv piecing and design and using color fearlessly in your quilts.
Cindy has been teaching and lecturing in person since 2014 and online since April 2020. Her classes use Improv techniques to engage student creativity and encourage making original quilts without patterns or templates. There’s no way to make a mistake!
She comes from a long line of women who have expressed themselves using a needle and thread, although curiously there weren’t any quilters in her family. Creating with various forms of fabric and thread has been a part of her life since childhood, and she is self-taught as a fiber artist, with lots of experimentation along the way.
Cindy is the author of Artful Improv and a new book, Adventures in Improv Quilts, available Fall 2021.
