Our member, Randee Hamblin will show us a quilting technique called “Layered Waves”, made popular by Karen Eckmeier’s books and patterns. Making free-form wavy layers is creative and playful. The layers can be topstitched with a variety of colors and stitches or enhanced with small quilting details. This is a popular technique for a not-too-complicated landscape quilt, with results in hours, not weeks. Layered waves and curves can be done randomly to build fabric segments for use in a project/tote bag or wearables. It’s a fun method for collages and semi-realistic fabric scenes.
No previous experience in this technique is necessary for the afternoon class: we’ll be cutting, sewing, pressing and designing on the fly. The fee for the class will be to bring or sew a CASA stocking.
Deb Border will be managing a sit and sew CASA stocking session in the afternoon as well.
Plan to bring a lunch and spend the afternoon designing and sewing.
