Judy, an award winning quilter, will teach you how to design you own original whole cloth quilt.  She will bring 200 stencils and also a sample quilt that students can practice fabric painting on a whole cloth quilt.  The class will also cover blocking and getting your quilt ready to show.  You will learn how to take traditional designs and transform them to a more contemporary look, and learn how to draw feathers for your own designs.  Students can bring their own center design if they wish and Judy will show them how to design around it.  Judy's quilts have won many national awards and she can take you to the next level.  This class is excellent for Longarm quilters, regular sewing machine sewers or hand quilters.  Free booklet provided.  This is a design-only class.
