May 8th, 1:30pm Lecture David Owen Hastings
I’m a quilter, graphic designer, print and textile artist, and the 2020 President of the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild. I create richly-layered contemporary artwork and modern minimal quilt and textile designs. For over 20 years, I’ve exhibited my stitched paper artwork in galleries and juried shows, and worked exclusively with nonprofit organizations on their branding and communications.
My creative approach to modern quilting has led to a busy schedule of workshops and lectures on quilting, branding for artists, fine art and textile techniques. Sharing knowledge, encouraging creativity, and teaching new skills are personal passions. I also love to travel, especially in Asia, and enjoy sharing my experiences and inspiration through travel photos and stories.

Minimal Design Maximum Impact
Lecture David Owen Hastings
This talk ties directly into my Modern Abstract Quilts workshop, giving an overview of my process for coming up with simple graphic quilt designs, starting with stitched paper models (called maquettes). I show examples of how to translate an architectural photo into a quilt design, and have many samples of mini quilts I created using this process. The techniques I present are also great for making unique modern quilt block designs. I also talk about walking foot quilting and how to break free from stitch in the ditch.
