Fabric Books CANCELLED
Style: Fabric book
Instructor: Karen Fiedler
Method: Machine
Sunday morning
Skill level: Beginner
Learn the techniques involved in making a fabric book,
using muslin for the inside pages and a printed fabric for the outside
cover. The book will have 12 inside pages measuring six inches square
and a slightly larger cover. All pages will be supported by thin, flat
quilt batting. Our focus will be to learn how to construct the book and
understand the measurements so you can customize future books.
Your imagination will be spinning – think of children’s books
(ABC’s, animals, colors); collecting good wishes at a shower, birthday
or other celebration; a special satin-and-lace cover for a wedding album;
a few small appliqué pieces that you wanted to try; fabrics that
show off your vacation photos; a record of baby’s first year; or
a very special journal for yourself. The cover, and even the inside pages,
beg to be embellished.
The book construction technique is adapted from Fabric Art Journals; Making,
Sewing, and Embellishing Journals from Cloth and Fibers, by Pam Sussman.

Redwork and other Embroidery
Style: Embroidery
Instructor: Margaret Natof
Method: Hand
Sunday morning Skill
Level: Beginner
Focusing mostly on traditional red-on-white embroidery, this class will
teach all of the basic redwork stitches and give hands-on practice with
a small project. The class will move on to more intricate, but not more
difficult, stitches as time permits. Margaret will show how to make embroidery
as neat on the back as on the front, how to transfer a pattern to fabric,
and will provide directions to finish the small project started in class.
If you are not wild about red, then select another color. Embroidery in
quilts is making a comeback with the renewed popularity of crazy quilting. |

Let the Needle Do the Work
Style: Appliqué
Instructor: Mary Zesiger
Method: Hand
Sunday morning
Skill level: Beginner
Knowing how to needle-turn the edges of an intricate appliqué that
have very sharp points or very small pieces can be a valuable tool for
the quilter to pull out of her bag of tricks. This is especially true
when reducing bulk is important or the degree of angle is too sharp to
prepare with some other method. A Fall leaf piece and a Sunbonnet Sue
miniature piece will be covered during the workshop. Students will sew
at his/her own pace. While each project will be started in class, it may
not be finished by the time the workshop is over. |
