Susan Carlson Fabric Images at Santa Fe
2026-03-23 - 2026-03-27 | The Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza, 100 Sandoval Street, Santa Fe, NM, 87501, United States
Create a fabric collage quilt from an image of your choosing by using Susan’s unique collage piecing process. Go beyond the photo to make a design full of color, rhythm and life!
Learn Susan’s innovative layering/collage method using your own photo as inspiration to make a quilt that pops! Patterns and templates will not be used. This five-day format is ideal for expanding on each student’s unique design.
Susan will introduce different aspects of the quilt collage approach each day, using her own quilts as examples. Fabric selection and how it relates to the subject matter, construction, backgrounds and borders, quilting and finishing for display will be discussed.

Susan Carlson Fabric Collage Immersion: A 10 Day Workshop
2026-04-21 - 2026-05-02 | Woodland Ridge Retreat, E4620 County Rd C, Menomonie, WI, 54751, United States
My Two-Week Intensive classes will follow a format of five work days, two days off, then another 5 work days. Out-of-class activities will be planned according to the locations, but will likely include field trips to local attractions—and fabric oriented locations. In Wisconsin, Chris (the owner of Woodland Ridge Retreat and Dye Candy Fabrics) and I have already discussed locations to visit over the open weekend including: Cultural Cloth: https://www.culturalcloth.com/, SR Harris: https://srharrisfabric.com/, and for a special dinner out, Owamni: https://owamni.com/.
