    "DESIGN PROCESS"

    From the initial spark to the finished quilt. Join Tara for a talk all about the process of design. She’ll share ways she takes an idea and develops it, and how the role of scale and color are integral to her process, what she does when things hit a wall and ways to resolve it, and how she's gotten out of creative ruts and most recently found the patience to see one through rather than fight it.

    This is a 1 hour lecture with Q & A via Zoom. Registration is for non guild members only.

    If you are a member of the Austin Modern Quilt Guild, you do not need to register. If you are not a member this is a great opportunity to get a peek into one of our meetings while getting a chance to hear from one of the most influential quilters in modern quilting! 

    We will be hosting this at our regular monthly meeting in-person at the Cherrywood center, and we'll have the Zoom lecture projected in the room with the ability to interact as a group. If you cannot make it to the in-person meeting, no worries! You will be emailed a link to the Zoom meeting to attend that way.


    About the Artist: Tara Faughnan

    The Austin Modern Quilt Guild is excited to welcome Tara Faughnan, a celebrated modern quilt artist, teacher, and fabric designer known for her vibrant color palettes, bold geometric designs, and fresh approach to quilting. Tara’s work is instantly recognizable for its playful use of color, blending modern design with traditional quilting techniques in a way that feels both artistic and approachable.

    As an experienced teacher and creative thinker, Tara has inspired quilters around the world to explore color more confidently and think differently about design. In her lecture, she’ll share a behind-the-scenes look at her design process, how ideas take shape, where inspiration comes from, and how she turns concepts into finished quilts.

    Whether you love modern quilting, want to strengthen your own design skills, or are simply looking for a dose of creative inspiration, this is a lecture you won’t want to miss!

    Come join us for an inspiring lecture and a chance to learn from one of today’s most influential voices in modern quilting. Sign up today!
