Acrostitch: A Mini Alphabet Workshop with Giucy Giuce
Join Giuseppe Ribaudo of Giucy Giuce as he teaches this brand new class for the very first time, Acrostitch: A Mini Alphabet Workshop.
The Mini Alphabet pattern (REQUIRED) is the latest addition to the popular Mini Series by Giucy Giuce and Alison Glass. In this brand new workshop, you will learn all of Giuseppe's tips and tricks for his approach to his favorite sewing technique: tiny piecing. Using the letters in the Mini Alphabet to make an acrostic, retreat attendees will each create a quilt top unique to them.
Giuseppe will help you to lay out your own special project: from your colors and fabric choices to the math you'll need to complete your project. You'll choose a word or name that resonates with you for your acrostic, then decide on words for each of your letters. Everyone will have a project that is all their own!
Choose your favorite motivational word and use that as a jumping off point for other words that inspire you. Or choose the name of a loved one and use the letters of their name to call out all the traits that make them special to you. Endless possibilities!

| Instructor Bio: | Hi there! My name is Giuseppe Ribaudo, but I am better known as Giucy Giuce. I grew up in Long Island, NY. First generation Sicilian-American on my dad's side and second on my mom's, my family lived on the bottom floor of my maternal grandparents? house. My parents were restaurant owners and as such spent much of their time working, so my sister and I were often upstairs with my grandparents. My grandmother is a remarkably talented and prolific seamstress. She taught me to sew in the Sicilian fashion, which is to say she would show me how to do something and I would have approximately 10 seconds to demonstrate that I had learned it perfectly before she'd abruptly pick me up and sew the seam herself. I never much cared for the finicky elements of garment making, so sewing took a backseat for a while. It wasn't until I was in college that I discovered quilting. I began with sewing improvisational quilts before moving into modern traditional territory. I joined Instagram shortly thereafter and quickly found myself making long distance friends in the ever-growing quilting community via social media. After bouncing around the country for about a decade, I decided to move back to New York to pursue a career in textiles. Within a few months of being in NYC I was offered a marketing position at Andover Fabrics and was promoted to multimedia manager a year later. In 2018, I refocused my energy to fabric design and released my first collection Quantum. In 2021 I released my tenth collection called Nonna, an homage to my beloved grandmother and her home where I learned to sew. My most recent release, Sleuth, is the third and final collection in a true crime series I have dubbed The Gnarls Hollow Trilogy. In 2020 I relocated to Portland, Maine where I continue to design fabric and patterns, lecture, and teach quilting workshops. |
