Program: Our low country Roots. Indigo

Presented by: Lydia Beason of Island Indigo

It is with pleasure that we are offering in June a Lecture and Workshop that will take us back to our roots.

On June 18 we will hear members and guests will hear a brief review of the history of indigo in SC, see illustrations of seed to dye indigo processing, then explore Shibori techniques to bind and dye their own unique silk scarf.

Scarf Size is 14x72 inches

Lydia Beason’s captivating textile art work is lovingly, individually designed and hand dyed with natural plant indigo. Her work is crafted using intricate shibori techniques with indigo harvested from her garden beds (as long as that supply lasts!). Her process is deeply rooted in the local historical and cultural significance of the indigo plant. Inspiration is drawn from the lush Low Country landscape, sea and sky.

She utilizes a diverse range of mediums including silk, cotton, and linen dyeing, linocut, collage, and pigment painting to elevate the beauty and complexity of her indigo blue art. As a juried artist and award winner, Lydia’s art has been featured in galleries, podcasts, magazines, and television broadcasts. She shares her passion through workshops with community groups, schools, and USCB. She was recently honored to be named the Artist in Residence for the Beaufort County Libraries.

Lydia’s small business, Island Indigo, donates proceeds to brain cancer research, a cause near and dear to her heart. The cognitive and physical therapy of her art have allowed her to find purpose through her battle with brain cancer.

Please also join our exciting workshop opportunity on Friday to put your skills to work

Fun 40 Quarter Workshop (July 17, 2026)

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMT

40 Fat Quarters Quilt

with Mary Willis PQG member

This quilt is constructed with 2-1/2” strips from 40 different fat quarters 18” x 22”. (You can use yardage, but scraps will not work unless you have 6 – 2-1/2” strips of each fabric, at least 16” long.) I have made this quilt twice. Once with Halloween fat quarters and once with 40 different solid color fat quarters. You’re looking for contrast with your fat quarters. You’ll want to choose a variety of lights and darks, patterns and scale. I think it could be fun with Red, White and Blue, Christmas, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Purple and Green, Black, White and Gray, etc. Use your imagination and have fun picking your fat quarters. Following the instructions, you will sew six panels together with up rows and down rows resulting in a quilt that measures approximately 72” x 78”. (Adapted from a class by Lynne Godin, former member of PBQG)

Supply list:

40 Fat Quarters

Sewing machine with ¼” foot

Rotary cutter with a new blade, cutting mat, and rulers

Optional but very useful – Stripology XL Ruler by Gudrun Erla of GE designs, or June Tailor Shape Cut Plus Ruler

Cotton thread, seam ripper, pins, scissors etc.

Iron and ironing mat (pressing direction is key for this quilt so all of your seams will nest)

Paper labels marked A, B, C, D, E, F.

Another set of paper labels marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

**Come to class with Six -- 2-1/2” strips from each of your 40 fat quarters ready to sew.**
