I
am pleased to welcome Yvonne Porcella,
to Santa Barbara Quilting Retreats!
I can’t wait for March, when Yvonne Porcella will come to Santa Barbara to teach her Flexible Fusible Fantasy Fabric Pictures Quilting Retreat, March 7-10, 2008! Yvonne’s work makes me so happy and her colors really get my creative juices flowing. She is a talented and great teacher. I love going to her website to check out the latest. Look in her FACES gallery and you will get some ideas of what will be possible for you. Make a wall hanging or a tote bag? Bring pictures of flowers from your garden, favorite landscaping book or anything else that inspires you and bring along your imagination for the Fabulous Face Block you want to design. Yvonne is multi-talented and has been creating in the quilting world since 1962, her work is featured in major exhibitions, art gallery and major quilt exhibits. She has written 8 books about clothing and quilting. She was inducted into the Quilters Hall of Fame in Marion, Indiana in 1998. She was also the 5th recipient of the Silver Star Award at Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas. She is an amazing woman. I promise that we will have a great deal of fun. Yvonne says we will use fusible web to bond cotton fabrics to freely cut shapes to make a 22” block depicting a fantasy floral still life and or fabulous face or both. Students will design the block, edge elements with machine stitching, complete as quilted panels or tote bags in class. Everyone is encouraged to be flexible and creative in this class. We will have time to get acquainted, have some fabulous food, enjoy and wine and cheese night and meet some great people.
