\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a> Iglesia Santa Barbara de Santa Rosalia, Designed by Gustave Eiffel,[\/caption]\nJust as art glass requires the artistic skill to conceive an appropriate and workable design and skills to engineer the piece, so does creating a stained glass effect with fabric. Road 2018 teacher Allie Aller<\/a> has achieved just such a mastery and will be sharing her unique techniques in three classes. Allie will be teaching on Monday,\n\n\n

and on Wednesday, 3017C\u00a0\u00a0 Stained Glass Pillow\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nAllie began quilting in 1971. As she puts it, she \u201cstumbled through\u201d her first quilt (made out of bandannas from the army surplus store) entirely on her own.\u00a0 Her cousin was at that same time working in applique as a freelance illustrator. Allie credits her cousin as the one\u00a0 who took her by the hand and sent Allie off in the right direction.\u00a0<\/span>\nEverything Allie does is \u201cquilt related.\u201d An avid gardener, Allie says she gets inspiration for her stained glass effect quilts \u201cabsolutely 100%\u201d from her garden. The fabrics she uses reflect and express the colors and forms that she sees there.\u00a0 \u201cMy quilts look like my garden and my garden looks like my quilts. The line is totally blurred\u2026\u201d confides Allie.\nAllie also is an avid traveler. The farthest she has traveled was to Varanasi, India, where she bought the most beautiful jacquard silks in the world.\u00a0 She is excited to be returning back to India this winter to study Indian quilts and handcrafts.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/strong>\nAllie enjoys teaching, sharing with her students new concepts and skills, and watching them take off with what they are learning. While Allie will be sharing the various and wide interpretations of stained glass quilting, she hope her students will\u00a0 leave her classes with smiles, great memories, and increased confidence and enthusiasm for their work.\u00a0<\/span>\nWhat is Allie\u2019s best quilting tip? \u201cPractice, practice, practice.\u00a0 Think of your quilting the same way as playing a musical instrument.\u00a0 There are skills to learn, craft techniques to perfect, ideas to jam with\u2026. but the bottom line is, it takes practice to be able to do what you want to do.\u00a0 Get it in your hands. Have discipline.\u00a0 And play your heart out.\u201d\nTo learn more about Allie, follow her on her blog<\/a>.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
