Wendy Butler Berns
Awaken the Art Quilter Within
September 28 - October 2, 2009 |
Wendy’s words tell us what a dedicated and inspired teacher we will experience when we share a retreat with her. She will encourage us to “Awaken the Art Quilter Within.” You have explored a variety of traditional quilting patterns and you are comfortable with machine quilting. Now, you are seeking new and original design challenges.
It’s time to discover the ABC’S of art quilts. With the use of fusing, rough-edge appliqué’, embellishing, couching, colloguing, free motion machine embroidery and free motion machine quilting techniques, you will begin the process of creating your own simple art quilts. We will explore simple design concepts and experiment with techniques that add more texture to your work. Ample workshop time will be devoted to stitching and exploring the new techniques you will be learning. Students will want to be familiar with the use of a darning foot and be comfortable with the way your machine works. Wendy is from Lake Mills in southern Wisconsin. Fabric and sewing have been a part of Wendy’s life for 43 years, ever since fourth grate 4H. She found her passion for quilting in 1993 and since 1997 has taught and lectured about the art of quilting regionally and nationally. Her work appears regularly in juried shows and galleries as well as private collections across the country. Visit her website to see all the publications where she has been recognized. www.wendybutlerberns.com We
will take care of your every need so that you may take your time
to have the maximum experience with Wendy. Plan on bonding with
others who have the same interests you do, enjoy wonderful food,
great accommodations and the beautiful Central Coast of California
on the blue Pacific Ocean.
