Talks
How Did I Get Here From There?
From a career in business consulting to full time studio fiber artist, Carol will talk about her 6 year journey and share some lessons learned from moving from a left brain to right brain life. Besides showing the progression of her work from traditional to art quilts, Carol will also talk about being a professional artist and give you ideas about applying specific marketing and business tools that can help you achieve your own short and long term artistic goals.

Workshops
Self-Portraits
This workshop will teach you how to create a self-portrait in fabric. You will learn how to create a face and transfer that drawing to a pattern. You will select appropriate fabrics and construct a portrait that can be taken home for final finishing. No particular skills are required other than the ability to let loose your imagination and have fun. By the end of the day, you will have broken out of your barriers and will approach future compositions with a new found confidence and freedom to play, create, and be as original as you are — in your artwork and in life!

Stupendous Stitching (TM)
In this class, you will be combining couching, hand embroidery and decorative machine stitching to help you create fabulous textures and colors on batik cotton fabric. This is the class you need to explore and use all those hundreds of “decorative stitches” included in your sewing machine. You will also learn a new way to finish the edges of your piece with rattail cord and learn the secrets of mounting your art so it will hang on your wall beautifully. You will leave this class with a finished masterpiece! Read comments from students about this workshop. See photos of their finished work.
This class is offered in two versions – a two day (4 hours each) class with 2 weeks apart or a one day 7 hour class. The difference between the two is the size of your finished art fabric. If you choose the 2 day class, you will have a finished piece measuring approximately 16″ x 20″ — the one day class will result in a finished 12″ x 12″ piece.

Stitch & Slash
This class will teach you the unlimited design possibilities of raw edge cut work.
Starting with simple machine stitching (either free motion or regular stitching) you will stitch a design on the back of your layered fabrics. Then, it’s ripping and tearing (the most fun part!) to uncover a geometric pattern on the top. The final steps will be to hand stitch and machine couch to create your textured fabric art. This is another fun class where every design decision you make is based on the decision you made before. See photos of some student’s finished work.
