Give new life to magazine clippings and combine them with fabric to make beautiful and unique fiber art. First, we will design your block using paper and hand-dyed fabrics. Then you will cut, fuse, and hand-stitch the pieces in place. This is a great opportunity to learn how to stitch on paper. There will be also a demonstration on how to laminate and foil the magazine clippings. This class is open to all sewing levels, and anyone who would like to explore techniques with different materials beyond fabrics.

Did you know that free-motion designs tend to fall into one of several families? Once you know one design in the family, you can pick up the other ones with ease! In this class Christina introduces you to several free-motion families to expand your FMQ repertoire. Drawing these designs and their variations, students develop confidence in building quilting designs in their own style.
