Improv English Paper Piecing with Michael Eason of Quilchemy
Michael Eason from Quilchemy taught several English Paper Piecing classes at Fiber+Fabric Craft Festival to introduce quilters and sewists to the technique and expand their understanding of its possibilities. We talked with Michael about his experiences with EPP and Improv EPP, what he learned from teaching at Festival, and what he hopes to see at the show in the years to come!

h+h americas and the Fiber+Fabric Craft Festival are proud Silver Level sponsors of Textile Talks, the weekly online talk series from Studio Art Quilt Associates, the International Quilt Museum, Quilt Alliance, and Surface Design Association. Cover image suggestion: a quilting/textile-art show-floor photo already in the media library (one of the existing home-page gallery images), or the Textile Talks logo itself if SAQA's brand guidelines allow reuse, worth checking before using their logo directly.
