developed a quick and easy rotary technique that allows you to make quilts with a 3-D look. Frankly, this is Karen's favorite class because it is so easy to create truly amazing quilts of illusion. Let Karen share her secrets, so you may become a master of illusion!

"Playing with Paintstiks"

Tuesday, May 18, 2010, 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Workshop fee - $35

Location: Dover Library, 73 Locust St, Dover

Supply List

Remember when you were in kindergarten, and you put a leaf or penny under a piece of paper, then rubbed the crayon on top of the paper? An image of the leaf or penny magically appeared on the sheet. That's exactly the idea with Shiva Oil Paintstik rubbings.  Students will create their own unique embellished fabrics using Paintstiks with batik stamps.  The completed fabric will be completely washable and colorfast.

Level: All Levels

 NOTE: The instructor will bring a wide variety of copper batik stamps for “Play” with the Paintstiks.  She also provides an ample supply of paintstiks for class use.   Copper Stamps and Paintstiks will also be available for purchase at the workshop.

Workshop Quilt: Striptrees

www.sheinstein.addr.com

We will make a landscape with trees or blocks with shapes resembling letters or trees by cutting the fabric and inserting strips. In the first case we start with a light fabric (sky) and work from the top down. If we do blocks we choose one or several fabrics as a background and again insert strips. You can write runes (old Nordic script) and piece your name or a message. You'll discover other possibilities while working intuitively in developing your own quilt.
