Let's do Birds

During this workshop you will learn how to create a quilt from a picture using fabric by means of negative images and a special type of reverse appliqué. You will also create a back ground by means of textile art e.g. burning fabric to manipulate them to form the background you want. The realistic bird picture will then be enhanced by free motion stitching. This is a technique class where the difficult realistic appliqué technique is being taught in an easy way.
