Want
to learn three exciting techniques and make a small quilt using all
three? Fabric painting,
soft-edge machine appliqué and machine quilting will all be taught in
the class. You will work toward having a small wall-hanging with your
favorite landscape as inspiration. We will learn how to use fabric
paints and then paint a landscape. The details and extra
touches are added
with soft-edge machine appliqué. It is a method done mostly with a
straight-stitch
which is still very strong and machine washable. A border of patchwork
can be used to frame the quilt. Some instruction in blending printed
fabrics and painted work will be included. Once the top is done we
will machine quilt it using machine
embroidery as the inspiration. Quilting in the ditch, free-machine
quilting and fill-in techniques will all be explored. A sewing machine
is necessary for this class. Zigzag stitch capability is better, but
optional. Fabric paint will be provided for a fee of $5.00. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This
class can be done as a 2 day class without the quilting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
