Session: 3 x 3hr
Workshop Type: Hand Sewing or Sewing Machine or Both
Level: All Levels
Rosalie is obsessed with light and colour, loving the rich contrasts resulting from the juxtaposition of
cottons, silks, velvets, brocade, and sheers. She loves traditional quilts but wants her quilts to say
something about their time and place in history and come directly from her life.
As a teacher and artist, her aim is to fill her students with confidence and the excitement she feels
about creating art in fabric and fibre. Rosalie aims to guide them in the direction of their interest in a
non-threatening supportive environment, so that they create more than they thought possible.
DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The moon, with its phases and movement across our skies, has always had a special place in our
hearts and lives. This class offers an opportunity to celebrate its varying shapes, light and mystery as
the basis for making a small rich and exciting quilt top. Learn how to design using circles and parts of
circles, and then piece, appliqué and embellish your small work. You may choose to work with
sheers, by hand or by machine, and add embellishment. Class discussion will include a look at the
fascinating references in science, mythology and art to enrich your work. Slides, technique and
design examples and other visual material promise to send you Over the Moon in this exciting class!
