Improvisational exploration of new ways to use your SCRAPS, 15 minutes at a time! Learn techniques in playing in your scraps to make your own beautiful designed quilts. Sharpen your design skills, learn about combining colors and prints in new ways, push it further by using templates then watch your own unique quilt design emerge. Discover just how distinctive classic quilt blocks can be, when they are constructed with more spunk and spontaneity! Build confidence in color, quilting techniques, and design all through PLAY!
Student supplies:
- SCRAPS! the more the merrier, a nice BIG bag of scraps of all colors, solids and prints. Please do not bring strips, you will need random shaped messy scraps to break out of the box.
- The book 15 Minutes of Play by Victoria Findlay Wolfe
- Sewing machine and basic sewing machine supplies: pins, seam ripper, thread, etc.
- Scissors
- Rotary cutter & small cutting mat
- A hand full of FQ's that could be used to set blocks. Perhaps 5 prints and 3 solids
- 6.5" square template
- Any odd shape templates: hexagon, dresden, triangles, even a double wedding ring. Bring them to play!
- A handful of pages from an old phone book - you will not need the whole book!
Skill level: Beginner to advanced
Victoria Findlay Wolfe has fine art training and is a painter at heart who has sculpted, still does photography and basically isn't happy unless she is making something. She has always known she'd become some kind of artist but was surprised QUILTS became her greatest passion...
In 2008, Victoria saw a popular quilting blog online and I thought "Hey! I can do that".
Her approach to QUILTING is very much the way she draws: warm up exercises to get started... 15 minutes at a time... 15 minutes of "play" and inevitably a QUILT idea emerges.
Victoria is an award winning quilter, fabric designer, international teacher and lecturer. She is the author of two books: Double Wedding Rings: Traditions Made Modern and 15 Minutes of Play.
This event is sponsored by the Bainbridge Island Modern Quilt Guild. All proceeds benefit the guild. For additional information contact the event organizer Suzanne Edwards Granstrom at snpgrant@sbcglobal.net
