Fabric Collage with Laurie Liang
Duration: 3 hrs
Sessions: 2 (March 25 and April1)
Laura Heine's collage quilts have received world-wide attention! Laurie will give you a taste of Laura Hein's collage techniques in this hand-on class. These quilts can be very impressionistic and painterly or structured in design. Students will have the choice of creating a design using Laura Heine's techniques. Please let Laurie know your preference of which commercial pattern designed by Laura Heinie you'd like to use. The options are "Tomato pin cushion; Butterfly or a Sea Horse". Please send an email to Laurie@sewright.com with your choice of pattern so we can order it in advance.
Class Preparation: Before the first class, please draw the outline of your design on the Pattern-ease. Make sure you have a scrap paper underneath your tracing, or you might mark up your tabletop. Please bring the pattern-ease with the drawing to class.
Supplies to Bring:
- 1 1/2 to 2 yards of Pattern ease
- The Laura Heine Pattern of your choice
- Serrated fabric scissors, like the ones designed by Karen Kay Buckley
- Black Sharpie
- 3 yards of Steam-A-Seam 2
- An assortment of fabrics to create your design. You may want to plan what colors you want to use by coloring your design on a separate piece of paper. Keep in mind that a variety of shades and prints will give depth to your design. These can be scraps or precut units of fabric.
- You may want to bring your sewing machine for the second session of class.
