Lenore Crawford
|
|
| Impressionistic Fabric Art
In this workshop the designing of a small fused project will begin. We will work from one of three of Lenore’s patterns: Yellow Poppies, Red Poppies or Yellow Cone Flower since these are the least complex patterns for beginners. It will be outlined on freezer paper and then transferred to a background fabric on which the design will be fused. No sewing will be done during the workshop, only the designing and fusing. Lenore will demonstrate how to add fabric painting to your design to add detail and depth; students will do painting on their own designs in the two day workshops.

Value of Value
Want to learn how to use VALUE to make your quilts stand out and “flow” from light to dark, while making a long skinny quilt (vertical or horizontal) for that special place on your wall? (Or maybe even create a table runner.)
This class will "flow" in your quilts. This is a chance to use some of those fancy and unusual fabrics that you’ve been attracted to, but didn’t know how to use. We will tame them by fusing, and learn to mix them with other textured looking fabrics. And you won’t need much of any one fabric—even scraps will do!
Three day workshop
Class Fee: $275.00
