Learn my easy techniques for producing floral wall quilts with oversized images. In this 4-hour class, you will use an original flower drawing (20" x 24") provided by the instructor ($10 fee; Seven flowers to choose from: Poppy, Rose, Sunflower, Daylily, Calla, Iris, and Bird of Paradise.) We'll translate this into a fabric collage using contemporary methods and innovative art techniques, such as free-motion machine embroidery, thread painting, embellishing with Angelina fiber and beads, couching and bobbin drawing. You will fuse your quilt top in class and I will demonstrate my techniques, so you can finish the quilt at your leisure at home. See my flower quilts at http://www.marjankluepfel.com
