Bubbles, Curves and Straight Lines: A way to modern Quilting!

Claudia will teach the students an array of background fillers for use in abstract and interlocking areas. These textures will give a modern touch to the quilt! Combined with traditional designs like Pfun Pfeiling Pfeathers and geometric motives, the quilting draws attention to the textures!

Claudia says:

In these workshops, students will begin to develop their own unique style with fun and fanciful stitching. They will be encouraged to use their longarm in much the same manner as a pen! Class will begin with relatively simple designs and continue step-by-step through many more advanced techniques, working at their own pace. All classes include practicing couching special threads and yarns without a special foot.
