I’m Sarah Goer, artist and educator.

I help quilters build their improv piecing skills in a fun and playful way, so they are inspired to create their own unique designs.

My classes are a bit of a choose your own adventure, packed with tips and tricks as well as permission to play. Part of my joy in teaching is to see the many unique perspectives that develop from the same prompt.

Based in San Jose, California, I learned to sew as a child and was drawn to the color and geometry of quilting after college. As a former middle school math teacher, I combine my eleven years of classroom experience with my nearly two decades of quilting experience to bring clear instruction to my quilt students.

Students appreciate my easy going, nurturing style.

My Workshop

My workshop is an invitation for you to play with improv piecing.

In my 30-minute workshop, I will walk you through my process for creating a composition with improv piecing by using a set of guidelines for my design.

I’ll begin by telling you what I look for in a color/fabric palette. Then I will share ideas for setting parameters to guide your piecing, and continue with tips and tricks for cutting, sewing, and putting it all together.

My examples will be in solids, but the techniques are applicable to all styles of fabric. This workshop is suitable for quilters of all levels, with or without previous experience in improv. No specialty tools are required.

Come play!
