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!

Adjust the pieces until they’re right.

Sew!

On machines new,

and vintage.

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

Several people brought their own hand dyed and printed fabrics.

So beautiful!

And Voila!

The beginnings of beautiful clothes.

Vests,

jackets,

in perfect colors.

The final touch, some beading.

And a few more beads.

Applique too.

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

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

Others, almost finished.

I had a wonderful time meeting and teaching a class for members of the Columbia FiberArts Guild.

Thank you for inviting me!
