Spontaneous Creation & Inspiration
Sheila Frampton Cooper
Tuesday, December 2 6pm CST
This talk goes deep into my process. I discuss color, inspiration and the various approaches I engage when doing this type of work. I’ll share a variety of student work as well as a few other artists and discuss what I feel makes a piece successful. This is a fun talk full of eye candy!

Applique’ + Piecing = New Possibilities
Sheila Frampton Cooper
Saturday, December 6, 2025 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
In this workshop, participants are provided with a few pattern designs to choose from in order to learn the mechanics of this technique. This is a much shorter version of this workshop, therefore I will provide guidelines for creating a full-scale pattern on freezer paper, and assemble the forms using a technique called Appli-piecing, originally developed by Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry.
By using this technique, you can bring almost any complex abstract idea into quilt form. You will retain a clean, graphic look and when complete, you will have a quilt top pieced together with a 1/4” seam allowance.
