WORKSHOPS - 2007
Jenny Bowker (Interstate)ARABESQUE2 x 2-day classes cost $140 | Jenny will teach you to play with a selection of patterns to produce designs suitable for quilts made with blocks - but your blocks will be appliquéd like Islamic blocks.This is a design-based workshop where you will not produce a finished quilt, but will work with many small samples in paper and perhaps fabric. Most of your time will be used in working up designs, and some students might work with fabric. Several appliqué methods will be demonstrated - both hand and machine. | |

Linda HaighROSE LATTICE GARDEN2 day workshop cost $100 | The Rose Lattice Garden quilt is a lovely blend of fabrics and colours to depict a lattice in the garden with full-blown roses growing on the lattice. Students can use a different variety of colour choices in their fabrics depending on the effect they wish to have with the completed quilt. This quilt has inspired other students to experiment with colours and it has been reproduced in chocolates, pinks & creams, autumnal tones, blues, beiges & creams and also a Kaffe Fassett version. The appliqué is blanket stitched by machine or hand if you prefer and fabric choices for the roses & stems will be discussed ready for the second class. |  |
Gloria LoughmanSTITCHING IN WATERCOLOURS2-day workshop cost $130 | Using fabric instead of watercolours, students will create a textile painting combining a subtle colourwash background with machine appliquéd flowers or abstract shapes. Students can combine squares or diamonds, blending colours and textures for a painterly effect. Basic design principles and colour choices will be discussed and instruction will be given for satin stitch, soft edge and 3-D appliqué. Note - Kits of hand dyed and painted fabrics and patterns are available |  |
Gloria LoughmanFLYING FREE1-day workshop cost $70 | Many quilters have been collecting Japanese, African, Aboriginal or another special group of fabrics but find it difficult launch into using them. In this class participants have fun designing and stitching a quilt that features these fabrics in a unique way. Irregular blocks featuring machine appliqué and fill in blocks of free cut shapes are joined by vertical or horizontal panels to create a spectacular 'one of a kind' quilt. In a one day class, students will make a sample of each block and will be given instruction on how to complete the quilt |  |
