HARNESSING MY CREATIVITY (45-60mins)
Using examples of what I do with all those stimulating creative ideas, words, phrases, photo's, magazine clippings or miscellaneous day to day ephemera. How to trap them before they escape my memory or grasp and are lost or gone forever. This lecture includes an unusual trunk show, from idea journals, scrapbooks, inspiration boards to the art piece that results. Of course I have more inspiration than finished items.
ONCE YOU START, YOU CAN'T STOP......(45-60mins)
Embellishing your quilts that is, at least I can't. I went from being a traditional quiltmaker to using anything that was within my line of vision, grasp and even my husbands stashes....okay, okay his "Collections", to embellish my work. There is a way to attach anything if you give it some creative thought. Trunk show included.
MY PERSONAL QUILTING JOURNEY (45-60mins)
Thirty-three years ago when I began quilting, I did so like many others using tradional patterns and techniques. Soon I realized I didn't like the repitition of sewing traditional blocks, but I had an overwhelming need to creatively express myself and the tactile quality of fiber kept me in quilting. Following my own drummer, I began the exploration of a non-traditional styles. I have pursued a more contemporary quilting route, today finding myself working more and more in mixed-media to achieve that same "need" for creative expression.

Landscape Painting With Fabric- 3 hour class
Step out of your comfort zone in this workshop where you will create two small scale landscapes. When working in such a small size it is important to maintain the appropriate scale, as well as using “values” to create a sense of depth visually in the landscape. View your “stash” with new eyes, wrong sides of fabric, fussy cutting to create nature’s elements or even using “bitz” of fancies to give shine or shadow. Your finished art can simply be framed like a painted landscape and the second worn as a pendant for all to admire.

Supply list will be provided upon booking.
