Participants in this workshop will work with their own inspirational photo, painting, or imagination to create a unique wall quilt. By breaking down their inspirational photo or picture to its basic design elements, students will use fused appliqué and free motion quilting to realize their vision. Quilts are made in a collage method on a quilted background. Machine quilting completes and enhances the design elements. Some hand stitching may be included to complete the design. This class is a dive into the art of landscape quilts.
