I will share my process of creating these images and how I print them on my home printer for you to try later. After a demonstration of design and composition each participant will begin creating their own Pet Project art quilt. By the end of class you will be on your way to creating a sweet 12×12” art quilt\, featuring your pet!

SUMMARY:Birds & Blues: color & stitch - Stitch Fest\, Lancaster PA
DESCRIPTION:Birds & Blues is an exploration of fabric coloration and stitch to create a personal unique art quilt. Class will begin by learning how to use fabric dye pastels and then colorizing the nine 4×4? bird block prints provided in your kit. Then let the stitch begin! Lisa will teach a stitch technique that borrows from the traditional Japanese styles of boro patches and sashiko stitch and sprinkles in a bit of grandma’s crazy quilting too. Your kit has three 10x10inch hand dyed indigo panels you can add other fabrics of your choice to finish out the other 6 squares. Your finished blocks can be framed individually or stitch together in any combination to create a larger art quilt or strung together to create a set of pennants. Lisa will show you lots of examples and share finishing ideas and techniques too. Your kit includes everything you need to create three finished panels on hand dyed indigo. \nINFO \nMaterials Fee $25 paid at beginning of class includes: \nYour kit includes all you need to complete 3 blocks\n• 9 -hand carved 4×4? bird block images printed in deep blue on white cotton\n• 3- 9×9” squares of hand dyed indigo cotton fabric\n• 1 – ball of white pearl cotton thread size 8\n• 1 – chenille needle size #24\n• Set of 15 pentel fabric dye sticks\nSupplies you need  to bring for class: \n• pins and or glue stick.\n• scissors or rotary cutter (pinking shears are nice but not required)\n• Light to mid- weight Pellon fusible fabric stabilizer\, You will need 3 cut to 10x10in square (I like to stabilize fabric while hand stitching so no embroidery hoop needed – if you prefer to use an embroidery hoop you can skip the Pellon and bring a hoop)\n• Optional: disappearing fabric marker such as Pilot FriXion or Fabric Chalk such as Dritz Quilting Chalk Cartridge set is good if you want to mark precise stitch lines – you can also stitch freehand with no marking (I do both)\n• Optional: swatches of print or solid fabrics to add patches of color with your birds & indigo fabric supplied

DESCRIPTION:Kitchen Garden Quilt is an exploration of fabric coloration and stitch to create a personal\, unique art quilt with a tasty theme. Class will begin by colorizing fruit and veggie block prints with fabric dye pastels provided in your kit. Then let the stitch begin! Lisa will teach a stitch technique that borrows from the traditional Japanese styles of boro patches and sashiko stitch and sprinkles in a bit of grandma’s crazy quilting too.

Your finished blocks can be framed or finished individually or stitch together in any combination to create a larger art quilt.

SUMMARY:Kitchen Garden Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Kitchen Garden Quilt is an exploration of fabric coloration and stitch to create a personal\, unique art quilt with a tasty theme. Class will begin by colorizing fruit and veggie block prints with fabric dye pastels provided in your kit. Then let the stitch begin! Lisa will teach a stitch technique that borrows from the traditional Japanese styles of boro patches and sashiko stitch and sprinkles in a bit of grandma’s crazy quilting too. You get to choose if you want a colorful-patches look\, a solid-color background so that the stitches shine\, or some of both! Your finished blocks can be framed or finished individually or stitch together in any combination to create a larger art quilt. Lisa will show you lots of examples and share finishing ideas and techniques too. \nPrerequisites: None\nKit Cost: $30.00 kit payable to the instructor\nKit Contents: Kit includes 6 fruit and veggie block prints on cotton\, 15 color set of fabric dye pastels\, two 9” x 12” prefused muslin\, two 9” x 12” black cotton\, 1 ball white pearl cotton thread\, chenille needle size #24. Fabric scraps in multi colors to share. This is enough to completely finish 2 of 6 blocks.\nSupplies Students Must Bring: Pins and or glue stick\, iron and ironing pad (there will be some to share if you don’t have a travel iron)\, and scissors or rotary cutter (pinking shears are nice but not required).\nOptional: disappearing fabric marker such as Pilot FriXion or Fabric Chalk such as Dritz Quilting Chalk Cartridge set is good if you want to mark precise stitch lines—I’ll have some to share. You can also stitch freehand with no marking. (I do both.) If you have lots of fabric scraps you’d like to use\, bring some along in a favorite color family to use in a crazy-quilts design.\nHomework: None

I’ll show fun and easy print techniques using botanicals\, stencils\, and texture tools. You will print on a variety of fabrics from silks\, linen\, cotton and sheers that I’ll have pre-cut and at the ready. This is a marvelously accessible and surprisingly tidy technique\, no prior experience with printing or painting on fabric is needed and I bring all the materials!  In the afternoon each participant will create an 12×18” art quilt composition to hand stitch or take home to machine stitch. \nYou need to register through IQF Houston the workshop number is #520
