Thread Painting
Thread Painting is many things…creating a picture, adding details, dimension, and/or depth to an applique, making fur on an animal, or just adding little details to make your creation come alive. You will learn loads of techniques in this class, and you'll learn all about stabilizers. You'll create different items using the stabilizers. This is a fabulous technique to add to your skills! You’ll be surprised how fun and forgiving Thread Painting is!!! Let yourself be warned…this is addictingly fun!!!!
You MUST be some what comfortable with free motion quilting on your domestic machine.
(You can be a beginning free motion quilter who has taken a class and played some with it. You DON'T have to be an expert!)

Stained Glass Flowers
Workshop begins at 9:00 A.M.
Pick one or all of these flowers, to allow participants to create their favorite flower. Choose from My Roses, Iris Dreams, Hydrangeas or Tulips. This class features Dorene's method for making an Art Quilt that looks like stained glass but instead uses fabric. Instead of lead lines, students will use a black background, learning a new technique for applique placement, that makes everything easy, with stunning results! Students can change the colors to your desired color palette. You can make the roses on black or the whole stained glass. Make both if you like! Use your imagination to create your own color palette for your Roses-Stained Glass art quilt. This pattern makes it easy to achieve realistic results for your Faux stained glass art quilt with paint by number ease. Students will have most of the applique completed and will be ready with tips, techniques, and ideas to finish the art quilt at home.
