Peggy Martin began quilting in 1981, piecing and quilting everything by hand. A few years later, when quicker methods were being discovered, she became hooked on finding faster, easier ways to make quilts. When she began teaching in 1985, she continued to develop more streamlined, fast, fun methods of working. She enjoys expanding on traditional quilts with new variations and color-play. Her favorite quilts are those which are fast, easy to piece, and offer many design possibilities.
Peggy has been presenting programs and workshops at guilds and seminars since 1988. She has exhibited quilts in the San Diego Quit Show, Road to California, the IQA show in Houston, AQS in Paducah, and Tactile Architecture IV. She live in San Diego, California and is married with two grown sons.
The following lists indicate lectures and workshops that Peggy Martin gives. Email her at martins@martins.cts.com for details and current prices.
Tradition takes off with new ways to interpret blocks through different variations, settings, colors and styles. Learn how easily new designs evolve through experimentation and a sense of play. Trunk show of quilts from my books plus others.
Color is one of the first things we notice in a quilt. Color often affects how we respond to a quilt and our emotional reactions to it. Learn the importance of value as well as color in designing quilts. How to develop color strategies and free up your own creative use of color. Trunk show of quilts from my books plus others.
