Pat Sloan - 2 workshops and lecture. Her Website. Registration form available here.
Friday Lecture - Pat's Quilts: "From Then to Now"
I feel that real quilts are such a joy to share. In my lecture I show more than 60 real quilts and tops I
have made over the years. I use the quilts as real examples to explain how my designs have changed
and progressed. I discuss my creative process and what inspires me to make a quilt design. I talk
about my creative techniques and how the audience can use them to spark their own new creative flow.
After the lecture, the audience is encouraged to examine the quilts close-up and chat with me about
quilt design.
Thurs class - Pat's Wild and Free Appliqué.
I love quilts that are very playful and free flowing. This class is about how I
use asymmetrical designs, appliqué that is large, and lots of fabric. My
focus for this class is on developing the background, with a concentration
on fabric selection and placement. I also discuss the use of color and
asymmetrical design elements, including shape and placement of the
appliqué pieces. The workshop offers students extensive one-on-one
advice on color and fabric selection.
The pattern we have chosen is 'Slice of Summer'.
Sat class - Cupcakes & Quotes. Are you as crazy about cupcakes and quotes as I am? Join me to learn a whole
collection of tips and tricks about fusible appliqué, embellishment and design.
Using the yummy 'cup cake', we'll design our quilt. Patterns will be given so you
can just choose one and go if you like.
I'll tell you all about my love affair with quotes and sayings as we find words for
your quilt. Then we'll go crazy embellishing our own cup cake quilt! I did mine in
30's, which is a fantastic way to use that collection you've been 'saving' and to
come away with a totally FUN quilt! You can use any fabrics you like, the quilt is
wonderful in brights, pastel, and warm toasty colors. Walk out of class with
design, embellishment and a cupcake quilt well on it's way! Pattern
included.
