Octagon Oasis is a 5 day retreat at the award winning Tanque Verde Ranch for quilters who love the desert landscape and an old west luxury vibe. Using jumbo templates you will create a modern version of the antique spider web block design. With nature at every turn of your stay, we will study and absorb the palette and texture of this breathtaking place.  Learn the process of making a structured block popped with improv color accents as you created this exciting quilt. Color and value are part of everyday lessons with sewing techniques demonstrated. Jennifer’s own Octagon Shimmer Pattern (C&T Publishing) will be followed. Horseback, spa and pool, hikes and biking are available during your stay… and enhance your creative flow:) One on one maker meetings at beginning and end of week with Jennifer to expand your skills.
