The objective of this 2-Day class is to complete any of your textile pieces that you have currently unfinished. You can bring your unfinished projects: your art quilts started in any of the previous classes offered by Grace, projects that you started elsewhere and have not finished or do not know how to finish, or patterns that you own and do not know how to execute. These can be Traditional or Contemporary, Bed or Wall quilts, wearable items, bags, purses, etc. Appliqué, piecing, quilting, bordering and finishing questions will be answered and problems resolved. I will help you with suggestions on choosing fabrics, colors, and values or techniques that need to be used to complete the piece(s), as needed.
Get those “Unfinished Objects” finished and spend some quality sewing and quilting time with Grace.

If color is important, then Value is the key to creating exceptional art quilts. This workshop focuses on the important tools for creating inspirational botanicals, landscapes, and portraits. It will provide an over view of color harmony, color theory, the psychology of color and the expressive aspects of color and value. I will then focus on Value. Students will see value and color in a new way. They will learn how to create Grace’s “Periodic Table of Value and Color” a must have tool for all art quilters. Grace provides the fabrics for 8-value grey scale as a part of the materials in the class.

This is a fun class that is easier than you would ever guess. This technique is applicable for quilts, garments and home decorating. With your free motion machine foot, you will create your own appliqués by embroidering designs that you will later, be able to attach onto the quilt, vest or jacket. You might even use this technique to create greeting cards, pillows, memory books and probably many other things that I have not thought about.
