Columbia FiberArts Guild Workshop

June 16, 2013

Last week I spent a few days teaching a workshop for the Columbia FiberArts Guild.

We covered piecing, applique and beading. That’s a lot to cover in just two days!

First, lay out your fabric.

Cut!

and vintage.

This one, worth its weight in gold, a Singer Featherweight.

Several people brought their own hand dyed and printed fabrics.

So beautiful!

At the end, everyone pinned their project to the board.

Here, pieced designs, ready to be incorporated into something wonderful.
