I
am pleased to welcome Carol
Taylor!
Carol
will be joining us for another great class, this is her new technique
and it has not been offered on the West Coast. “Value of
Value”….
Learn
how to use VALUE to make your quilts stand out and “flow”
from light to dark, while making a long skinny quilt (vertical
or horizontal) for that special place on your wall? (Or maybe
even create a table runner.)
Carol
is featured in a new book with her Value of Value Table Runner/Wall
Hanging and it is inspiring.
This quilt will measure 14 x 57 or 14 x 71. This class is based
on a project for a new book Carol has been invited to be in, and
will emphasize a simple, hands-on method of learning to use value
and make it “flow” in your quilts. The photo here
shows a horizontal orientation, but you can hang it vertically
too. It is fused patchwork with couched circles, similar to my
Arc-i-Texture class, but mostly it will teach you how to use value
and create “flow” in your quilts!
This is a chance to use some of those fancy and unusual fabrics
that you’ve been attracted to, but didn’t know how
to use. We will tame them by fusing, and learn to mix them with
other textured looking fabrics. And you won’t need much
of any one fabric---even scraps will do!
You’ll
learn a bit about composition, and how to balance it with both
color and size, and use value to make your design “flow”.
You’ll learn about fusing and how to finish your quilts
with facings instead of bindings. And Carol will also teach
you how to quilt and couch those “perfect” circles
that have almost become a trademark on her quilts.
You
will enjoy the hospitality of the beautiful Crowne Plaza Hotel
on the beach in Ventura. You will love the wonderful treats on
your pillow at night and the fantastic mattresses to sleep on.
We can sew to our hearts content 24 hours per day in the classroom
we have reserved. The food is great and we will offer drinks and
snacks in the classroom through out each day. If you need a break
take a walk on the beach walk or walk two blocks you and enjoy
all the downtown restaurants and antique stores. On Tuesday night
we will enjoy a trip to the Treasure Hunt in Carpinteria for shopping
and some local Santa Barbara wines, delicious cheeses and dinner
at a fun family owned Carpinteria restaurant.
Carol
and I cannot wait to see you in November!
Love, Cathe
