Type of Workshop: Process and Project
By doing a series of very small quilts in class, you’ll learn to combine cloth and paper and free motion machine sewing with a little colorant to create a meaningful and quite fabulous art quilt. Using your own, or copyright free images, Jane will show you how to stitch like an artist. Your stitched image, fabric, and paper will tell a story, or recall a memory.
