“It’s All About the Fabric!  Using Large Scale Prints in Quilting”
                                                                                                            (Approx. 1 hour)       

         Using large scale print fabrics in quilting can be a challenge!  Let’s say a great large scale print fabric caught your eye & you bought it!  Yes we all love to pet our fabric but let’s USE it and NOT LOSE it!  See how fabric pattern and design can create a quilt that sizzles using those wonderful large scale fabrics!  I'll share how I pick my fabrics as well as pulling from my stash to blend two colors.  Once you use my guide for picking fabrics, you'll stay organized.


“Jackets That Fit Your Style”                                                 (Approx. 1 hour)

        Creating Wearable Art is a Journey!  As Quilters making Wearable Art we need to look at our fabric in a stylish manner.  How can we use fabric to enhance our figure?  Let's highlight our positives and diminish our problem spots.  All this can be done quite effectively with the use of color, fabric pattern and what I call the "Drapability" of the design.  Approximately 20 to 25 jackets will be presented.

                                               
“Using Silk Vintage Silks in Quilting”                                 (Approx. 1 hour)

         Silk is such a luxurious fabric to incorporate into quilting.  The sheen can provide a bit of luster for special effects yet the qualities that make silk so luscious can also drive us crazy!  In working with silk, the Shakespearean title “Taming of the Shrew” comes to mind.  Stabilizers and backings to tame silk as well as the care and laundering of vintage silk will be discussed.  With a little pre-planning and prep, silk can be tamed quite nicely!
