From Collage to Quilt Workshop

We are very excited to have Sarah Hibbert, an internationally acclaimed modern quilter who will be joining us to run this workshop in our studio.

From Collage to Quilt
When creating a paper collage, I do not necessarily see the resulting quilt in my mind. That comes when I pull away and stand back from the design. The excitement then starts to happen when I think about what fabric to use, do I go with the colours that are featured or do I resort to my overflowing fabric stash and create another colour scheme altogether?

This class with start with paper play creating your own unique design. Once a few designs have been created we will discuss the best way forward taking your design to a larger size in fabric.
This is a fun class exploring ways of quilt design.

Introduction.

When creating a paper collage, I do not necessarily see the resulting quilt in my mind. That comes when I pull away and stand back from the design. The excitement then starts to happen when I think about what fabric to use, do I go with the colours that are featured or do I resort to my overflowing fabric stash and create another colour scheme
altogether?
You can use this design process as a full quilt idea or a series of smaller pieces to interlock for an overall design. Use the paper cut outs as your colour palette and just have fun!

Materials list to bring with you:

Various magazines, colour paper

Various fabrics in a colour palette that matches your magazine cuttings (not essential)
