  Virtual Workshop -  Artful Couching                   

                      

                                    
  

   

  Learn the art of couching with yarns to create texture, flow and extra pizzazz.  We will first create our quilt sandwich and learn some quilting designs created using the walking foot.  We will then focus on mastering couching techniques.  Students will bring a striped batik or gradient fabric and coordinating yarn to make this 18″ x 45″ table runner size quilt.  This class will show you the many ways to use couching for definition and sparkle, by incorporating a variety of cording, yarn and metallic threads in your work.

  Virtual Workshop -  Parts and Pieces                  

                    

                                              
  

  
  

  Most quilters have leftover blocks, partial or unfinished quilts, cherished vintage blocks, blocks from friends, cherished pieces of fabric – the list is endless. Stop saving and start sewing. Let’s take those parts and pieces and make them into a finished quilt.

  
  

  Farm your scraps and shop your stash. Bring all your leftover blocks, pieces, and special scraps to this class where you will learn how to use them to make new quilts. Your challenge is to take those seemingly mismatched, different sized, different colorway leftovers and create something new and exciting using the liberated tricks and techniques you will learn in this class.

  Virtual Workshop - Working Small                   

              

                        

                                        

  Small quilts are a fabulous way to learn about color, composition and technique.  You can work in a series or experiment without the time commitment of a larger quilt.  The studies can stand alone or be a loose road map for a full-size quilt.  This is a great way to use up scraps.

  This class will show you how to do a very unique technique of curved piecing.  Developed by your instructor, Marge Tucker, this is a more advanced class but anyone with a sense of adventure can do it!!

  These curved blocks give added movement and motion and work well with other improvisational techniques classes or with other abstract blocks.

  Students will learn free-form cutting and curved piecing techniques,

  Virtual Workshop - Eel Grass and Eddies         

       

                                

  All levels

  Eel Grass and Eddies is a great class to "get your feet wet" with improvisational curved cutting and piecing.  Two fabric rectangles yield two reverse image blocks that can be using as is or cut into smaller units.  I also show variations that can be made with the blocks, as shown in the black and white quilt. This technique is fast and fun.
