On the left is a computer generated drawing of the quilt with the light background; a photograph of the quilt top with the dark background is on the right.

FRQ (Free Range Quilters) **

{40” × 40”}
Kathi Dineen
Free range quilting – thinking “outside the box.” Explore design terms, develop “improv” (improvisational) piecing techniques, and learn starting points toward creating original quilts. The different exercises are “short and sweet.”

About a year ago, Kathy Iskow brought back 3 beautiful sarongs from Bali for the Free Range Quilters to use in a challenge. One stipulation was to place the fabrics in a pattern that one had always wanted to use, but had not used until this opportunity. Here is a picture of the January show that displayed the quilts featuring the Bali fabric
Three, 3-hr sessions: $24.00/session.
Sundays, October 25, November 22, and December 27, 9:30-12:30

Hand Appliqué-Tion **

{40” × 40”}
Marianne Bettinger
Join us as we continue to explore the richness and depth of hand appliqué techniques, materials, notions, and designs in quilting. Almost nothing is out of bounds: fabrics such as linens and wool, threads that are variegated in color and heavier than usual, reverse as well as “ordinary” appliqué, and “sew” on. We shall have something different each month as we explore the edges of our comfort zones.

6-hrs: $48.00
Sundays, October 11, November 8, and December 13, 10:00-12:00
