#106 Marvelous Medallion Quilt
Harriet Hargrave
3 Day - Mon/Tue/Wed -
$230
Harriet's former students have been asking for more.
Now they can spend 3 days with the "Fairy Godmother of Quilting" and
learn all her tips and techniques of machine piecing. Harriet's style is
to reproduce antique quilts as closely as possible. Now that
reproduction fabric is available, a gorgeous quilt with the illusion of
age is much easier to achieve. However, this quilt is a knockout in any
fabric combination. Former students have done everything from 1800's
repro fabric to batik. This quilt was inspired by the Framed Medallion
quilts of the early 1800's. Elements of the quilt include LeMoyne Star,
4-patches, Flying
Geese and quarter-square triangles – all traditional blocks used in the
earliest quilts. If your blocks do not finish at exactly the right
measurement, this class is for you. Precision piecing is the name of the
game, and Harriet makes it easy and fun and above all extremely
rewarding - especially for beginning machine piecers. Medallion quilts
were popular in 18th century Europe and in the US up until 1850. Let
Harriet help you create your own timeless heirloom with a modern twist.

#509 Thread Painted Art Quilt
Leni Wiener
2 Days - Fri/Sat - $150
This is the class for
students who wish to create a truly unique work of art. Start by
constructing a fabric collage using raw edge machine appliqué and
then create detail, dimension and texture by adding thread
painting. You may start with a photograph or other inspiration, or
you may use a design of Leni's. She will work with students before
they come to Camp to help choose the best design for your project.
Leni will then help you finalize your idea and suggest fabrics you
can bring with you to class. She will provide your full sized
pattern as well as some other supplies that you can use in class.
Students who take this workshop should have taken the intro class,
but not necessarily the advanced thread painting class. Fee: $15

Joe the Quilter: A Musical Quilt Show
Joseph Hedley lived in England from 1750
to 1830. He was known as Joe the Quilter. Learning about him
inspired me to become a professional quilter 200 years later. In
this show I tell the story of his life, and illustrate the story
with quilts and songs. The quilts are my latest, original
quilts, made in the style of the original Joe the Quilter.
Unique, fun and full of quilts, this show is unlike anything you
have ever seen. |
