Workshops:
3-D Explosion
Would you like to create your own art quilt, but not sure where to start? Learn to draw curved lines and choose fabrics to create an explosion of the third dimension - depth! Then construct your new creation and get suggestions for the quilting design to enhance the illusion.
Radiant Suns
The color secret to making suns radiate will be revealed in this workshop! Blocks are created using curved seam piecing. But fear not, a no-pin method will make these seams a cinch! Machine quilting and binding my machine demo included with this class.
Fuchsia Fireworks
Would you like to make an art quilt? This design uses black to create the illusion of floating shapes. Come and have a fabulous time while learning curved seam piecing without pins! Free motion and binding by machine demos are included.
Good Gyrations
There are two versions of this quilt, the first one is smaller and uses 12 quarter yards for the blocks. The second is larger and scrappy and uses 27 quarter yards. You can use coordinating sets of quarter yards if you like. The blocks are three variations of one block. Come and have fun with curves and color! Acrylic templates are available.
Mosaic Madness
Here is a class that doesn't require a sewing machine! We'll be having fusible fun and I will share some bits of information about color while we spend the day creating the blocks for this mosaic quilt. Optional: Bring your sewing machines if you can't resist. If one shows up, I will demonstrate free motion quilting and binding by machine.
Lecture:
So, You Want to Make an At Quilt?!
Would you like some inspiration to get started making art quilts? Are you afraid that it's too hard and only gifted people can make art quilts? Then this lecture is for you! I will talk about how to get started making art quilts from a traditional standpoint and work my way up to making the giant art quilts like the 3-D Explosion series. I will discuss art fabrics and techniques to make them as well as show samples.
