DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The class can be done on a long-arm machine or domestic machine. We begin by creating an organic vase which is to be positioned directly onto the quilt sandwich. Basic collage method will be used to create the floral display. Playing with various tones and shapes will result in a pleasing pictorial design. Quick and easy raw-edge machine stitching will keep everything in place. Machine quilting creates the texture. Additional elements such as beading and hand stitching can be added and will be demonstrated. The optional class kit provides you with almost everything you need for the class. Finished size: 13” x 16”
