| Inspired by Velocity by Beth Studley, UK Quilt Artist and designer |
DAY ONE: Friday, February 6, 2015
"LINKED IN"
"LINKED IN"
* A day for quilters to come together and play
* Piecing guidance and tips included with a comprehensive handout
* Supplies list provided with paid registration
* $50 workshop fee
A wonderful, easy to piece Log Cabin version, I made my new quilt with shirting prints and fabrics from my stash. I will work with you to create your own adaptation of this quilt which will be a fun gift for a friend, family member or even to have on your own bed. Beginners skills are all that is required...straight sewing! I will send the cutting directions in advance of the play date workshop so that you come with many of the component parts cut before you arrive at the Odessa Hall. If your love to make quilts, this one says "summer is coming" and "cottage country". I don't know another project that will!

DAY TWO: Saturday - February 7, 2015
FLAT DYEING
* brilliant original fabrics created in such a fun way
* all dye and auxiliary supplies furnished
* you need white cotton/linen/silk fabrics, pre-washed
* supplies list provided with paid registration
$50 class fee includes dyes and comprehensive handout
NOTES: All of the fabrics for my RED SKY AT NIGHT piece above are flat dyed using a palette of the red, blue and yellow primaries in Procion MX Dyes that will be available to you at the workshop.
By pouring the dyes across your fabric, laid flat on the table in front of you and moving the dye with your gloved hands, you will create a beautiful palette of 'ombre' colours that you can combine for your new work.
I can't tell you how much fun this is - and YES you can attend the workshop day and use the dyes to do shibori pole wrapped pieces, folded and painted pieces using the dyes available or just "dip dye" a great palette of gradations to be used in quilts or fibre art projects. Just play with the dyes to do whatever YOU want to do...screen printing, dye painted cards, scarves - your choice. (and yes, I will have print paste available for you to add dyes to for screen work/direct painting of fabric)
