Tired of the same old strokes? In a method routine with design and color? Want to dive into the deep end of creativity? Of course you do!
Brenda Smith, an award winning quilter, (www.serendipitypatchwork.com.au )will be doing a series of 3-4 one day workshops at Material Obsession over the next few months. Brenda has created color and design exercises with a few varied themes that open up creative expression in quilters.
Explore fusible web applique, foundation piecing, applique and crazy patchwork while creating quilts that are unique and say something about YOU. Pinless curves, wavy lines and lots of improvisational projects are only a few techniques discussed ...
Spaces are limited so get in before the MO girls take all the spots! Set aside a Saturday and join us for what I am sure will be a fun experience. Stash fabrics welcome! If you are interested phone the shop or email us.
Wendy Williams, our Friday workshop teacher has made some gorgeous cushions using machine applique. The response has been, "When can I learn this?" So we have asked Wendy if she can teach one day workshops on these garden of delight cushions...
Wendy has also made some gorgeous bags using this technique which she might be willing to share...
There is no limit to what she can do! One day we showed her a wedge ruler and the next week she brought this into class for the ladies to see...
Technicolor garden party with spots and wedge borders and a lot more!
I feel like we are swimming in a talent pool when I see the things quilters do! One little push and off they go into the deep end of creativity. If you feel like having a dip in this just let us know! Take a deep breath and go for an exploration of your possibilites!
Our term two classes have just come to an end and the work produced has been nothing short of fantastic all year. For all the quilters in the classes, thanks for inspiring me every day and allowing me to share your work on this blog! For those of you that visit the blog and comment from afar, thanks for the applause as it is always nice to know that the quilts being made are appreciated and that the creative spirit is being shared to all corners of the earth! The more the merrier I say! Enjoy it all! kathy
