Let It Shine
No matter what style or construction method you prefer, Mary is pretty sure you have a quilt that’s “screaming for beads”! Discover how bead embellishment can enhance fabric with texture, color, reflection, and visual interest. Mary shares tips for successful bead embellishment as she discusses technical aspects such as; how to stabilize, when to bead, and when to quilt. Learn how beads can effectively become the spark” that draws the eye around the piece, “star” as the main design element, or “frame” the quilt with edging or binding techniques. Of course the lecture will shine with humor and many “real” quilts! Mary is an internationally recognized quilt maker, fashion designer, instructor, lecturer, and quilt show judge who has authored six quilt books and a DVD, "Mary Stori Teaches You Beading On Fabric". Her newest book is "Embellishing With Felted Wool". Mary was named 2004 Teacher of the Year by the Professional Quilter and has been a popular teacher at the Vermont Quilt Festival. Her writings have appeared in scores of quilt magazines and publications. Her award winning work is often humorous, generously embellished, and displays fine hand quilting. It has been widely exhibited both nationally and internationally. She's appeared on HGTV's "Simply Quilts" , "Sew Perfect", and Fon's & Porter's "Love of Quilting". She designed the Mary Stori Collection for Kona Bay Fabrics, and her own line of stencils for Quilting Creations. Mary joins us from her home in the mountains of North Carolina.

Wednesday, November 5, Workshop
Beads, Beads, Beads
Beads, Beads, Beads
Students get two great classes in one! This workshop introduces exciting beading techniques that have practical applications for quilts and
garments. Mary offers an in-depth discussion about beads; the care, storage, equipment needs, and stabilizing methods. In the morning, students will create a reference sampler as they learn: basic bead stitch, straight and curve line beading, scatter stitching, and the lazy stitch. We’ll also learn to attach beads, charms, buttons, trinkets, & unusual objects. The afternoon focus is more decorative stitches, including picot stitch, chain stitch, branched fringe, netting, bugle bead walls, bead embroidery, and more. Be prepared to become addicted to the special effects, the fun, and mobility of beading. This class features live video projection, every student has a front row seat!
