Landscape Quilts
Landscape quilts are classics, and Cynthia will show you the ropes for making them! You can talk to her about your vision for the quilt, and she'll help you pull it off. Each of the quilts in this class will be different! Cost: $28 plus supplies. Supplies: Have an inspirational photo. If you don't have one of your own, talk to Cynthia. Try to find a photo that has mostly horizontal lines, like the one pictured here. Have scraps of material in landscape colors, along with basic sewing supplies and your machine. Batiks work particularly well. You'll need fabric glue, and then we'll sew the fabrics down with a machine. Make an appointment to pick up supplies! You?ll need the book Accidental Landscapes, which we have at the shop. Tuesday, May 11, 6-8 PM on Zoom.
