Adding Another Layer with Paint or Foil

Painted Desert

Two workshops one features Paint and the other features Foil.

Painted fabric for border.

Paint Glorious Paint - Come play where the possibilities are endless and rules are few. Fabric paints enrich your projects before you begin sewing—or after. We will use stencils, rubber stamps and finger painting techniques to make ourselves look like a room full of Picassos. This is magic is waiting to happen! Includes a kit with 3 different kinds of paints, nine colors for you to take home after class.

Fantastic Fabric Foiling - Bring your projects to life with instant (and permanent) glitz and shine. We will apply foil using a variety of adhesives and make use of a variety of ideas that make it easy. Traditional and non-traditional quilters will learn how to incorporate foil into real show-stoppers!

Something New for the New Year

The Wizard

I've very flattered to have been asked to be the Keynote Speaker at the Minnesota Quilters 35th Annual Quilt Show and Conference in June. I'm going to talk about "So Many Ideas; So Little Time". This new lecture is a humorous look at how I design and made my contemporary quilts. You can relate to these true confessions of the struggles and foibles of a prolific quilter.

So the something new? They are asking for a sample. The challenge, how to make one sample that includes Fantastic Foil, Borders; the Final Chapter, and Machine Quilting?  Resuilting in ...  The Wizard.  I'll also be there with Eye Candy Quilts, since I have many of them, choosing one will be the hardest part. More on this event later.

Lots of fun stitching to highlight the foil.
