Programs

Using a scrap of fabric as a “starter”, students learn how to create a unique free motion quilted quiltlette, step-by-step. A timid free motion quilter will gain confidence in this class. This is a great class for students with a little free motion quilting experience who want to learn to combine motifs and discover their own personal style. Various motifs and fills will be taught in class.

This workshop consists of two parts. In the morning she will teach part one: Organic Shapes.
She will lead part two in the afternoon on "Mix-up Quilting" where you'll learn how to incorporate hand quilting with machine quilting to enhance the texture of your quilts.

Organic shapes: In this class I will teach you how to make curved shapes with your sewing machine! I explain step by step, in detail, how to make these beautiful shapes, which will give you the possibility to freely create shapes on your quilts! It is not Appliqué. In addition, I will show you 3 variants of these forms (one form on top of another, one form next to another and one form within another) and I will give you ideas to inspire you in your next creations!

"Mix-Up Quilting" is Carolina Oneto's technique of using hand quilting with perle cotton in combination with machine quilting to provide additional texture to your quilt. In preparation for the workshop, members will put together four quilt sandwiches  with simple machine quilting on them (details in supply list to come), which will then be used to practice her techniques of hand quilting. 

Come learn about a method that incorporates traditional and modern in one project and provides a really special way to interact with your quilt surface after it's pieced.
