Arlene has a heartfelt love for antique quilts - and an incredible knack for bringing them beautifully into the present. She reimagines historic designs with smart, simplified techniques that make these timeless treasures accessible and enjoyable for today’s quilters.

Inspired by an 1800's classic, Esther’s Stars and Esther’s Constellation offer a fresh, modern twist while honoring their vintage roots. Go bold with two colors or dive into your scraps - either way, the streamlined block construction means fewer seams, a smoother finish, and dazzling results. And with one ingenious ruler, you’ll nail crisp star points and perfect 1" square-in-a-square blocks like a pro!

Adinkra are traditional symbols from Ghana that represent concepts, proverbs, and cultural values. Widely used across the African Diaspora, they appear in textiles, pottery, logos, and architecture.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the meanings behind some of the most popular Adinkra symbols. Then, using vibrant African wax print fabrics, participants will create a small wall hanging or table runner featuring raw edge appliqué Adinkra designs.

This is a creative and meaningful way to connect with African heritage through fabric, symbolism, and storytelling.
