From Orphan to Art

Are you in awe of those amazing art quilts? Wondering how to decide which blocks and images to use? You’ve come to the right place. If you have a stack of orphan blocks or scrapes ( you know those poor pieces that didn’t quite fit anywhere in your projects). You have the start of a small art quilt. I will show you how to design a small wall hanging using orphan blocks, small sewn together scraps, and even pieces of UFO’s that you’ve fallen on to love with. We will decide on a theme using orphans and images to create a background and focal point. Then we will add 3D elements, such as buttons, beads, and other ephemeras to create a truly unique piece. I will show you different ways to finish the piece, such as facing, zig-zag edging, etc.. Now how to hang it on the wall. do you want to mount it on a canvas or hang it from a pre-made hanger? I cover that too. Let’s give those orphans a home! Hanger (optional) available for purchase.

Make a fun, stress-free workshop to create unique art quilts. This class is for all skill levels. $25.00 kit fee optional

Take it to the Next Level

Jump into the world of embellishments! Create a small undersea garden wall hanging and learn different ways to make your fabrics, trims, and doodads come to life. Try some new techniques. Just relax and create your ideal coral reef.

Note: Students need to have a background sandwiched with batting and backing. $25.00 kit fee per student payable to the instructor at beginning of class.

Quilted Jigsaw Puzzle:

With this technique students dan combine two hobbies, because it is very much like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. A raw-edge fusible applique is used, leaving a negative space between each piece. The background fabric can be any color, but if black is used the piece will have a wonderful stained-glass look. This is a fun class for both beginners and experienced quilters. In class students can choose between two different patterns: Sunrise/Sunset or Mountain Majesty or Abstract Desert. $25.00 kit fee per student payable to instructor at the beginning of class.

Let’s get Scrolling

Scrolls are popular. Join the craze! Use your fabric scraps and other bits and bobs to create a nice vertical long piece. You can decide on a theme or just have fun using up scraps. I will show you how to sew it down by machine, finish the edges, and create a pocket for hanging. You can use a traditional wood spool to hang it from or something unique, such as a rolling pin for a cooking theme. In class you will work on a 3″x24″ scroll. A perfect size to get the top done. So, let’s get scrolling! $10.00 kit fee (includes spool and base fabric) per student payable to instructor at the beginning of class.

Please Note

The class price does not include transportation, food, or lodging.

Transportation: Milage paid at the current IRS business rate. If airfare is required, I will fly at the lowest current rate from Sacramento, CA. Southwest Airlines has low price flights and holds sales quite often.

Lodging: In a private room in a motel or hotel preferred. I am willing to stay in a private home if able to accommodate myself and my husband who travels with me.
