Thursday-Friday Two Day Classes

4501 – Advavanced Pictorial Appliqué $155
David Taylor www.davidtaylorquilts.com
Thursday: 6 Hours: 8:30am – 4:30pm
Friday: 6 Hours: 8:30am – 4:30pm

This class is for quilters who have mastered their own appliqué technique. I will demonstrate how to adapt a photograph or drawing into a wall quilt, using hand-appliqué and piecing techniques. A simple subject with nice detail work best for my method. I will show how to get beautiful details from simple shapes and letting the fabric do the hard work. Students are encouraged to contact me by email in advance of the class to discuss their image choices: david@davidtaylorquilts.com

These quilts tell about you, what and whom you love and with sentiments and smiles make the viewer know something special about the artist that they didn’t know before. You will be doing a “short” story about something that isn’t all that involved. Composition, drawing, color and imagination are covered in this workshop. This class helps you ”think” of events in your past with a positive, happy outlook and offers up many ideas that tell of you and events you remember. This surprises the artist often and lets process take flight as you stretch and learn as you sew. It is both fun and satisfying too.

Friday: 3 Hours: 7:00pm – 10:00pm

Hand embroidery combined with a wide variety of fibers can take embellishment to a new dimension. Several basic stitches will be taught and then expanded upon by experimenting with a variety of threads, ribbons and yarns to completely change the look of the stitch. Hand painted fibers as well as solids and traditional as well as non-traditional fibers will be combined to help you draw out your creative talents in an easy, relaxing and portable project. This class will be taught as a sampler notebook. Each stitch will be demonstrated then you will be free to experiment with various fibers. This class will assume the stitcher is inexperienced, though depending on overall class experience 4-5 basic stitches will be demonstrated along with ideas and examples of how they could be used. Whether you are a quilter, garment constructor, ready-made adaptor or a thread artist this class is for you!
