WORKSHOPS

Scrappy Time: Building a Fabric Collage - One Day Workshop

This is a process class that will help you find new ideas on how to use your leftover scraps.  The term collage derives from the French "coller" meaning "glue". We will be working on design, not technique. Building the collage is an assemblage of different fabrics, thus creating a new whole. We will find our creativity through artistic imagining and play.

As Good As It Gets: Paper Piecing - One Day Workshop

Paper piecing is a traditional quilting technique that's been revived by today's quilters. Paper block piecing consists of sewing pieces of fabric on to a paper foundation to form a quilt block. While this technique is most often used for miniature blocks, foundation piecing can be used for creating full sized quilt blocks as well. Using the foundation piecing technique to piece blocks allows a quilter to construct complicated patterns easily and accurately and is a very good way to use up small scraps of fabric. It helps the quilter create straight lines and near perfect results.

Students Are Asked to Bring:

• Sewing Machine with extra bobbins
• Scissors
• Seam Ripper

Workshop Fees: The fee for all one-day workshops is $400.00 for 20 or fewer participants; additional participants are $30.00 each.
