Realistic
Fabric Portraits with Marilyn Belford will let you turn a favorite photograph into
a work of art in cloth. You do not have to be an artist - the camera has already done the drawing for you!
Marilyn shares her award-winning techniques. She will teach you to choose fabrics that work like paints and show
you how to use your sewing machine to paint with thread, bringing out the subtleties in your subject's face. You
will be amazed at what you can do! See completed student quilts in the Gallery.

In
Quilt the Zodiac, Ruth Blanchet has taken the
twelve astrological signs and created elegant machine appliquéd motifs that you can use to make a quilt, a pillow, a
tote, wall hangings of several sizes or a table runner. You can make just one project or go wild and
make them all. Modern methods make the work go quickly. With all those choices, you will be asking
everyone you know, "What's your sign?" Learn more.
Miniature
Landscapes introduces you to machine appliqué. Susan Brittingham shows you
the basic principles of landscape design as you create an 8"x10" fabric painting. Learn the quick appliqué method
with fusible interfacing and freezer paper templates. See student work in the Gallery.

Do you
think all tea turns things brown? You are in for a surprise in Tea Stain Dyeing.
In this class, Marjie McWilliams will let you try all different kinds of tea and play
with some of those ugly fabrics from the 70's or old stained items in need of camouflage. This is not an heirloom
technique, but can be lots of fun. Students use their fabric creatively in the Gallery.
