PROJECTS FROM PRIOR WORKSHOPS
Alex Tsubota: Landscapes Made Easy
June 1 and June 8, 2024
Alex Tsubota held a workshop on June 1 on how to make a landscape quilt. Alex supplied the pattern and explained how to create the tracing pattern and cut the fabric taking into account the required overlap. The participants also learned about different kinds of fusible and how to create a pattern from a photograph. The participants had a fun day and got a lot done on their projects. Individual color choices led to very different landscapes and added to the fun. The workshop was so popular that Alex taught a second session on June 8.
Catherine Redford: Basics of Wool Applique
April 2024
Eighteen students spent an enjoyable Saturday learning the basics of wool applique from Catherine Redford. In the morning we cut out, layered, and basted our pieces down, then whip-stitched around each piece. In the afternoon we learned 5 or 6 embroidery stitches, starting with the basics and advancing to fly, bullion, feather, and drizzle stitches, as well as beaded backstitch. If you ever have a chance to take a class from Catherine, you'll learn and laugh all day!
