Freestyle Color Collage workshop - must act by July 15!

 The Courthouse Quilters Guild of Flemington is welcoming Carly Mul this month to teach a 2-day workshop on Freestyle Color Collage. She was recently featured on The Quilt Show. The workshop will be on July 18^th and 19^th , from 1 - 4pm each day. The cost of the workshop is $50 plus the required $16 kit (containing the fusible backing). Students will need to bring a large stash of scraps, focusing on either a warm or cool palette. The scraps don't need to be large, but you'll want a good variety of prints (no solids).  Images attached to this email.

This class is an advanced class for color collage. Students will learn not only how to make lines in color, but also how to connect them by blending fabrics. It's a way to learn how to work with colors using the collage technique. The class is very open and unrestricted as there is no specific pattern or design to follow. The flow of the colors will create a pattern.  During the class, students will work on their layout. No sewing machine is needed. I will guide every student in person and offer instructions on how to finish at home.  The result is an abstract art quilt. This is meant to be a wall-hanging on its own, or become part of a wall-hanging.

If interested in joining us, please contact Kerry Cogen (vicepresident2@courthousequilters.org) by July 15th to sign up and receive more details and the supply list.

Mark your calendars!

 

Words of Wisdom

 One of my favorite online shops - mainly for batting - is Linda's. In her email today, she listed some quilting traditions that I think are worth repeating.

Speaking of batting, what kind do you use?
