Here are the particulars:
Strata Art Quilt Class
Where: Vicki's Quilts Down Under, Missoula, Montana
Date: Saturday, March 8, 2014
Time: 10:00am to 4:00pm
Phone (Vicki's): (406) 728-9446
Call or visit Vicki's to sign up, get a class supply list and see the sample quilt and magazine article about this easy art quilt that is a great way to learn about design. Please feel free to e-mail me at heidi@heidizielinski.com if you have questions or want some more information.
The class will cover how to use some basic design principles to create a beautiful long narrow wall-hanging that is made up of varying widths of strips. The small spaces created by these strips are great places to practice doing free motion quilting and maybe even some beading. We will complete the top in the class and you will get lots of hints, tips and suggestions for completing the quilting and embellishing.
I love making these quilts because the piecing is so easy and I love the long narrow format. Great for the end of hallway or narrow places like between doors or behind doors. I also like how easy they are to quilt on my machine because they are so narrow. And you don't have to do too much beading because they are narrow and I'm willing do do lots of dangles and fun stuff with the beading. Whenever I get in a rut or have a block about what to do next I make one of these because they are fun and easy for me, and I love the end results.
Here are two examples of strata quilts that I have made (and I have made quite a number of them!). The first is "Free Spirit" which started with a piece of hand painted raw silk and also incorporates some rusted Thai silk and rusted cotton. The second one is "Sunny Disposition" which started with the flower fabric.
If you enjoy playing with fabrics and color and you would like to learn more about combining them in a pleasing, artistic way, come and share some time with me and have some fun making a Strata Art Quilt!
