April: Water, Water Everywhere And Not a Drop to Drink
Does not have to look like the ocean, lake or river. The object is to use your imagination.
It can be over the water, under the water, by the water, indoors or outdoors, real or imagined, fun or series. Maybe it is rain or a pool or the barics or the blocks you use that no longer speak to you. Must measure no smaller than 12”x12” and no larger than 36”x36” finished. Judging at the April Guild meeting.

Workshops IMPROV QUILTING YOUR WAY Workshop June 25, 2022 with Faye Jones Workshop is $40 for members - you must pre-register in order to attend MATERIALS LIST: -Sewing machine with ¼” foot & several pre wound bobbins - Design surface- may be a piece of batting or covered board -Iron and ironing pad. Travel iron is adequate - Rotary cutter, mat, scissors, thread snips - Large square ruler for squaring up - Marking pens or chalk (I use Dynawave Heat Erase Pens - blue/white from Amazon) - Fabric- 100% cotton SOLIDS– good quality such as Kona. Walmart Waverly is acceptable. DO NOT Prewash Select 4 ½ yard cuts 2 dark/2 light and cut a 14 x 14 square from each (bring remainder of fabric). You may bring additional solid cuts- some mid value cuts if you are experienced in evaluating fabric placement by value. Limiting your fabric choices to only dark and light will keep the techniques simple and easy. I will bring solid and printed scraps for you to combine in your blocks. - COLOR EVALUATOR (MOST IMPORTANT) This is a set of green & red transparent acrylic rectangles which, when used to view colors, converts colors to greyscale. Most work that we will do in this workshop will involve placement of fabrics by VALUE utilizing the evaluator (these are available at Joann’s, Amazon & Hobby Lobby) If you have any questions, please email Faye birdie1345@aol.com |
