About David Owen Hastings
Hello! My name is David Owen Hastings. I'm a modern quilter, teacher and speaker. I live in the lush (and often wet) Pacific Northwest, west of Seattle, Washington on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.
I've been knitting and sewing since I was a kid. There's something magical in taking a length of yarn or a piece of fabric, and turning it into something useful and beautiful with your own hands. It's enchanting. I'm one of the believers that crafts like knitting and quilting can be both an artistic expression, as well as good for the soul.
I also enjoy creating some of my own textiles through dyeing and painting. I love incorporating these fabrics (and papers) into quilts and wall pieces with a modern twist. I offer workshops and lectures on modern quilting and design techniques. I enjoy encouraging participants to advance their own creativity, and try something new!
I have officially retired from a 40-year career of graphic design work! I had the pleasure of working exclusively with nonprofit organizations, helping them connect with donors, supporters, clients and the community through distinctive branding and marketing design tools. Now I have the gift of time to focus exclusively on my work as a modern quilter, speaker and teacher.
