Tuesday Full Day Classes: The class will include the basics of machine free motion quilting incorporating meandering, leaves, stippling, pebbles, quilting in a grid, and more. Additional techniques will include marking the quilt, block breakdown, stencils, and feathers! Wood Barn Quilt – Sonia Sanchez In this class we will be creating a 2 ft. by 2 ft. wooden barn quilt. The board will be ½ inch plywood primed for exterior use. Five quilt blocks will be available to choose from. It is recommended that blocks be limited to three colors. Tuesday Half Day Morning Class: We will be making an easy 16” Paper Piecing Table Mat in class. It can also be made into a 16” X 48” Table Runner. It's mostly scraps from your stash! Wednesday Full Day Classes:
Draw, Sew, Trim – Applique and Quilting Technique – Kay Donges The project is a Moroccan Motif Wall Hanging made with the Draw-Sew-Trim technique. Draw-Sew-Trim is a unique, quick and easy applique (quilting) technique that saves you a lot of time on marking, cutting and ironing your appliques. It gives you the accuracy of paper piecing combined with the freedom of applique. As every owner of a feline friend knows, when the sun sets, cats are just beginning the day. In a nocturnal celebration, applique kitties frolic up and down the nine-patch “stairs” of this wall hanging, enjoying the glow of the crescent moon. Echo quilting helps create texture in the sky, and low-contrast fabrics mimic the shadows of the night. Wednesday Half Day Morning Class:
Thread Painting Techniques – Judy Avant Participants will practice a variety of thread painting techniques on a small fabric panel ‘A Peaceful Retreat’ designed by Thomas Kinkade. These techniques can be used to enhance applique quilts, fabric photos, and fabric panels. |
