Join Patricia Belyea for a fun 1-day ZOOM workshop featuring her Matchstick Medallion Block.
Medallions are often considered the most masterful of quilting achievements. In this workshop, you design a 17” medallion block filled with fun modern matchsticks.
After Patricia demonstrates her technique step-by-step, you make two-colored matchsticks, then insert the matchsticks in a radiating 8-wedge medallion block. Learning to create a square medallion block of your own design opens the door to more medallion possibilities! Patricia also shows you how to make the bright Circus Tent Medallion and the more complex Genesis Medallion.

Patricia Belyea is an internationally recognized quilter who broadcasts from her log house in the Okanogan Highlands of Washington state. With five cameras in her teaching studio, Patricia gives you a front row seat in your own sewing room.

Join award winning fiber artist Andrea Brokenshire in her 5-day in-person workshop, Floral Painted Appliqué on Silk – Dippity Dots!
Andrea is inspired by the natural world. Won’t you join her in her paint box to learn Andrea's technique for painting realistic floral imagery onto silk. This workshop is divided into two sections. To make it easy, all materials you will need will be provided. In addition to painting your beautiful flower, she will also demonstrate how to create her highly textural confetti backgrounds and her technique for turning the edges of the finished applique’ for a clean finish. So let’s have some fun in Andrea's paintbox!
This is a great opportunity to try a fabric painting technique without making a large investment in brushes, textile paints, silk, etc. on your own!
Project Kit Fee: $225. Payable to Andrea Brokenshire the first day of class (mandatory).

SECTION II: (Day 5) Then, on the last day of the workshop, we will practice how to quilt your flower with free motion quilting your image using a pre-printed panel of “Dippity Dots”.
To make it easy, most materials you will need to paint this orchid will be provided in a mandatory project kit that is yours to keep. Any additional supplies you will need to bring will be listed in the supply list (click here for supply list). In addition to painting your beautiful flower, I will also demonstrate how I create my highly textural confetti backgrounds, and my technique for turning the edges of the finished applique’ for a clean finish. Free motion quilting is required.
Registration is open. This workshop was rescheduled from its original dates of February 1-5, 2023 due to severe weather.
