Workshop Description:Quilts can squish into backpacks and unfurl into art galleries, but sometimes there’s a thrill in stretching them taut, just like a painting. This workshop will teach you to use a wooden frame and staples to display your quilt ‘stretched canvas style.’ You will also get an introduction to several exciting quiltmaking techniques:
Layered quilts: have a transparent layer on top, revealing fabric and thread beneath
Patchwork: involves ‘piecing’ small segments of fabric together to expand into a full-sized quilt top
‘Quilt as you go’: combines the acts of ‘piecing’ and ‘quilting’ (fusing your quilt top and batting/insides) into one efficient and unique-looking quilt
Embroidery: Maybe you want to skip the quilting phase and just frame an embroidery
Freeform Applique: Working with a base fabric, you can apply more fabric on top with raw edges or turned edges to create a complex composition
Students will receive access to Heidi’s on-demand version of this class in advance of our workshop, so they can practice ahead, or refresh their memories after we gather in person.**
In addition to standard quilting supplies, students will need a couple wooden frames, staples, and a staple gun in class.
**If a student needs a refund after they have received the PDF for Framed Quilts, they will still be charged the $85 value of the pdf content.
