Denyse Schimidt Improve Lecture and Workshop

Denyse Schmidt Workshop 


Denyse Schmidt came to the Long Island MGQ on July 16th to give a lecture, trunk show and a workshop!
 It was an amazing day to learn from a quilting legend!

Denyse taught her Pure Improv workshop to 20 students that came from as far as Canada to participate! 

It was an amazing day had by all. Denyse has encouraged all of us to step outside of our comfort zone and to be free -- all while working within certain constructs of design and color. If you have a completed project to share, please make sure to share it on FB, or Instagram and tag Denyse and #LIMQG with your finished quilts!
