Workshop – Nov 8th - “Fearless with Apps!”
|
Design a quilt using Free applications (apps).
Requires smartphones or tablets (iOS or Android) --Release your fear of quilt design with the use of simple-to-use and free smartphone or tablet apps. This location has very good WiFi data connection. --Choose and Manipulate a Photo and Design Your Pattern. The apps will simplify the look of the original photo, change the colours, create a colour palette, create a line drawing to be used as the pattern. You’ll learn how to enlarge your pattern to print at home. Some sample photos will be provided -- Construct your quilt using your preferred technique - fused appliqué, machine pieced, hand paper pieced, or any other. Fused appliqué is always an easy, fast and fun technique which complements a group workshop with limited time. Guidance and tips for other methods of construction are also offered. Completion of the quilt might be done at home. Teacher will bring a printer and freezer paper to aid in transferring from design to fabric. Irons are provided. --Bring many coloured scraps of fabric to share, fusible webbing and base fabric approx 18 x 18. Scissors, pen and paper for notes are also helpful. -- A selected photo is provided to facilitate the easy learning curve. Since the results will be somewhat similar, the printed pattern will also be provided to make the quilt. Location: VT Genealogy Library at 57 River Rd, Rte 117, Essex Jct, VT Time: 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. If not paying online, please fill out this Workshop Registration form and mail it along with your payment to Sue McGuire.
