In this class, Carol will teach 15-20 simple piecing techniques and really free ways of creating patchwork designs. Learn to play with color and design without anxiety, and use all of those leftover scraps you’ve been saving. We’ll piece strips, squares, wedgies & circles without templates or pinning. We’ll do some couching & even a little fusing --- just to name a few of the methods you’ll get to try. All are fast and easy! You’ll go home with all of the components done to finish the quilt, and ideas galore to make more quilts using these methods. Tired of that precise cutting and those exacting patterns? Then this is the class for you! It will free you up & make you more creative. We’ll even spend half a day practicing some new free motion quilting patterns you can use to quilt your new project with when you go home. Carol will even demo with many different types of threads & teach you about which kinds of threads to use where. Come join us for the fun!

Hand stitching a “wacky bird” is bound to make you laugh! What could be more fun than that? Choose from nine distinctly different wacky bird patterns to create your personal wacky bird.  Tips will be given for needle-turning and perfecting sharp points, inside curves, rounded corners, and smooth edges.  Use take-away appliqué for pattern placement (no markings on the background or transparent overlays), making the multi-pieced bird fit together with ease.  Embroidery will help define the bird from the background.  Experiment with different colors of floss and see how it changes the appliquéd bird.

Toss the templates and trash the rulers! Fusing is free-form art making at its best. Working with fusible web on fabric, discover fusing techniques like free cutting, strip fusing, confetti collage, playing blocks, and improvisational assemblage. Because fusing is fast and free you quickly invent your own design language to explore. In this class you will create multiple pieces of fun, fast, free, fused fiber art and get loose, really loose. As an added bonus, learn tunes from the Chicago School of Fusing Glee Club and graduate with an advanced degree in Fusology.
