SEASCAPES   

	Create your own, original seascape wall quilt.  Learn about design principles.  This workshop is suitable for new and experienced quilters, with some patterns available for those who are not confident to make their own design.  We’ll be creating a fabric collage using fusible web, free motion machine embroidery and thread painting, stamping with fabric paints, foiling, embellishing with beads, yarn (couching) and bobbin drawing.

LAND- AND CITYSCAPES

Create an original landscape wall quilt using similar techniques as described in the seascape workshop.  Make a beautiful fantasy view, use my patterns or bring that inspiring photograph.

PLANTASY

“Plantasy” is the name I use for my fantasy flowers and plants.  Learn to create an original wall quilt with beautiful flowers, using similar techniques as mentioned in the seascape workshop.
Six different flower patterns available. $ 10 each

DYED FABRICS: THEY’RE ir-RESIST-able

•        Bleach discharge;
•        Resist techniques;
•        Shibori;
•        Stamping;

Lab fee is $10 per person.

Lecture: Evolution of an Art Quilter and Fabric Dyer:  This is a humorous and educational power point presentation/trunk show.  I explain where my ideas come from, how my work has evolved over the years and why I do what I do.
