Drawing with Fabric:

A strip of bias is like a line from a pencil.  Learn ways to make and use bias tape appliqué to “draw” your own quilts.  Whether you want to draw a picture or something more abstract, you’ll have fun creating your own unique quilt! We will also explore and discuss other ways to draw with fabric.  Six hours.

Every.Day.Creativity:

Kick your creativity into high gear with Every.Day.Creativity!  We’ll talk about my 2017 and 2018 100 Day projects, how I set myself up for success and what I learned along the way.  We’ll work on a postcard project and a 10″ mini quilt.  You’ll leave with strategies you can use to create every day.  Three or six hours.  ($4 kit fee payable in class)

 Lecture:  Lines to design
