About this event

FUN FABRIC FACES


Creating a face using the collage technique will be a fun and entertaining class.
The face you create does not have to look like a particular person, although the items
you include on your quilt could suggest a particular person’s likes, loves, life, etc.
For example, create one for your grandchild - including foods that they like or hobbies,
etc.

Or you could have a story in mind, perhaps humorous, about your face. Another
suggestion is that you could create a face for a holiday such as a scary face for
Halloween. The possibilities are endless! The point is to have fun.

Start thinking today about a face and bring it to life with your imagination.
You can look at faces created by Sew Jean Impey and Freddie Moran on Facebook that
all have funny stories to accompany their faces.

Some of the Facebook groups concerning collage you might like to join are:
Stories of Our Quilts (Sew Jean Impey)

No sewing machine needed, unless you are ready to do free motion stitching.  If so, have bring batting but not backing.
We will provide fabric for your face and extra printed fabric for embellishments. This fabric will all be prepared ahead of the class with Steam-a-Seam 2 Lite. This is a two-sided paper- backed fusible web.
Note: If you would like to use any of your own fabric, please prepare small pieces of
your fabric before class with Steam-a-Seam 2 Lite.
