Charlotte Quilt Show Chairs Needed

Regretably, no one volunteered to take on coordinating a 2011 Quilt Show. So you know what that means? You guessed it... we're now looking for 2012 chairs! Please contact us at info@charlottequiltersguild.org with your interest in supporting the 2012 Quilt Show.

October 7 - Workshop: Stained Glass Pickup Sticks

Debby Kratovil has been Special Projects Editor with QUILT Magazine for the past 15 years, with over 600 articles published. The workshop is based on a project, but she covers a lot of tips, tricks, and sewing techniques during the workship time. Check out: quilterbydesign.com

 

Novemer 3 - Ellen Linder
November 4 - Workshop: Design Your Own Nature Quilt

This class will help take the fear out of design. Using your own nature photo, you‘ll learn how to interpret it in fabric. Multiple group and solo exercises will give you the skills and confidence you need to start your own design. A raw edge collage technique will ensure maximum flexibility and speedy results.
These are just a few of the things you‘ll be learning: - Creating a sense of depth. - Getting your fabric to do the work. - Identifying and placing a focal point. - How to work with raw edge collage. - How cropping can help a composition. Note: No artistic skills are needed, but artistic courage is required!
