The class will use a lightboard and various papers to transform a simple pattern from a drawing or photo, into a small 8x8 fused and quilted square. You will learn basic pattern creation and fusing on fabric techniques. We will discuss how fabric (from solids to patterns) and thread, like colored pencils or paint, provide many possibilities to express your work.
After completing the small square, Kathy will demonstrate various threads and sewing techniques and give ideas for finishing your piece at home.
Come with ideas of drawings or photographs to create a quilted piece of art. Kathy will work both with beginners and experienced quilters, though some (hand or machine) sewing experience is helpful.
