Fabric
Art Workshop-Contemporary Surface Design
"This
class will feature many of the newer surface design and embellishment
techniques that I teach in my monthly journal classes at Colorful
Quilts and which will appear in my upcoming book. Angelina, painted
Wonder Under, and silk fusion are a three of the ten things to
be covered. Everything you create can go onto a quilt and all
are easily done at home with little equipment. The goal is to
have a lot of fun and let yourself play." A kit will be
provided to get you started.

Bead Creative Art Quilts
- Beading as THE Primary Design Element
Start by exploring
line and form through a variety of fun design development exercises
and record your discoveries for future reference in a design
journal. Then, Nancy will lead you through a myriad of abstract,
lush, textural beading stitches and processes; mostly her own
discoveries. Participants will be given time to adapt and explore
the presented beading techniques while making small beaded fabric
based units without a preconceived idea of how the units might
be attached to form an original art quilt wall hanging. This
design as you go method of creating a beaded fabric collage is
both enjoyable and liberating! Color, value, and scale as they
pertain to beading on fabric will also be discussed, as well
as demonstrations of numerous beading tips and the tools which
will make beading pleasurable. This is a hands-on workshop; all
hand beading experience levels are welcome.

Hot
Time In the Old Town---
This small wall hanging is a Beginning/Intermediate paper-piecing
project using the Sunburst Block. We will discuss color and value,
building a swatchboard and Claudia's "low frustration"
methods of paper-piecing.
Drop
Your Feed Dogs and Run---
We'll learn the free-motion scrollwork that adds dimension to
your wall hanging plus other free motion quilting for your backgrounds,
block-fillers and borders. You can either quilt your finished
wall hanging or create a sampler of machine quilting designs
to be used on future projects.
