Creating Your Own Landscape Quilt
This goal of this intermediate workshop is to enable you to create a unique landscape quilt that reflects your own artistic interpretation of a favorite scene from nature, using fabric and scissors instead of canvasses and paints. This is primarily a studio class; you will work on your own scene at your own pace. Techniques require no measuring, templates or patterns. Some prior machine quilting experience (minimal) and a working knowledge of your sewing machine will be helpful. No prior art training is necessary, this is a creative experience with almost no rules.
