bath, at the foot of a chair or anywhere you want to provide a cozy
accent. New techniques will be shared to make your chenille project
quick and easy. You may purchase soft silk flowers and disassemble
prior to class or you may order a kit of prepared assorted flower
petalsand leaves for $10.00. Pattern required ($8.00).
Cotton Theory:
Learn this popular “quilt as you go” technique from a Certified Cotton Theory instructor. You will make a table runner in the fun class. We will discuss sandwiching and quilting individual “logs” for the piece, and connecting the logs using the fold and finish method created by Betty Cotton. Upon completion of your project, you will have a quilted, reversible table runner. Pattern is required ($10.00) Kit optional but encouraged ($45.00).
Sunflower
Do
you love the look of appliqué but don't enjoy needle turn or machine appliqué? Try this technique for a beautiful wall
hanging (36" x 36"). Fusible
appliqué is so much fun - fuse the pieces, border with scrappy log cabin blocks
and send the top to your quilter; the stitching of the petals and leaves is
completed during the quilting process.
Of course, if you enjoy thread painting, that can also be done. Kits available but optional. Pattern required ($12)
Quilt
Cajun Crossing is a
simple and quick pattern that can be completed using strip piecing
techniques. Put in on point or straight
set - the choice is yours. We will
discuss both processes. Pattern required
($10)
Thread Painting
The student will learn how to embellish appliqué with thread painting. Using fusible appliqué as a foundation, we will paint with thread to enhance the project, creating depth and dimension to the appliqué. The first half of the class will be devoted to practicing free-motion techniques on three projects. Next, each student will thread paint a simple piece designed by the student using appliqué shapes provided by the teacher. A required supply fee of $15.00 per student covers the cost of 3 fabric kits which includes fusible web, 2 stabilizers and the use of various decorative threads.
