This workshop can be taken independently or as a continuation of Saturday's workshop (see Saturday workshop description)--don't worry if you don't take the Saturday, workshop, you'll be able to jump right in as Sujata introduces more free-form blocks and shares her process and techniques for making these imperfect and irregular blocks. You'll have so much fun, you won't want to stop making these organic, free-form blocks.Learn the Japanese way to create a piece of original art using techniques Terry learned from Japanese quiltmaker Keiko Goke. There are no patterns to use, no sewing machine needed (but you can bring yours if you like). All you need is cloth, scissors, a needle, and thread. The sewing stitch is absolutely authentic and it calms your mind as you stitch the cloth.

As part of the class, you’ll pick haiku to add to each creation. Not the simplistic English versions—Terry will have haiku that have been translated by the best translators. It is thoughtful and authentic because the Japanese characters are not letters as in the English alphabet,​ each is a thought!
