The Decorative Thread Experience
Wednesday
SM ALL
CANCELED Thread may have once been considered just a basic necessity of sewing. But, happily, it's now available in so many luscious colors and types that it has become sheer pleasure to use. Steering your way through the sea of threads available can be a time consuming and somewhat daunting task. Melody will guide you through the learning process so your sewing will become fun and fancy.

Paint Glorious Paint
Thursday
NS ALL
CANCELED The joy of painting onto fabric is that there are so many possibilities and so few rules. This is a time to set free your imagination, pick up your brush, and play. Apply the same techniques you use in creating the quilt top-visual trial and error. Play with fabric paints to enrich your fabrics before you begin sewing-or at any time during the process. Use paints to add new designs or dimension to portions of your quilts, making the fabrics uniquely your own. The choices are yours and the magic is waiting to happen. See my book, Quilt Toppings: Fun and Fanciful Embellishment Technique. Supply List Glorious Paint
