March
– Mar. 20 – Ginny Greaves –
“Portraits in Fabric”
Lecture,
Tues Guild meeting
Workshop – Wed, Mar. 21 – Creating Faces in Cloth: Dog Portrait
We
have all “oohed and aahed” over the beautiful portrait quilts that we
have seen in
our own Show and Tell and in quilt shows. Invariably we say, “How did
they do that?!”
Now is our chance to find out and learn to do it ourselves!! Word is…we can
do this!!
Those attending the workshop will be walked through the process that Ginny
uses in making her portrait quilts. You will learn about the drafting and
fusing
techniques and will fuse your own piece in a pattern provided in the
class.
Ginny will also discuss machine appliqué and how to quilt a face.
You will drool over her website
at VirginiaGreaves.com
