"We're Enchanted With Quilting!"
featuring Sally Williams:
"Fabric Design Using Procreate"
By day, Sally is a hydrologist. By night, she is a Fiber Artist. Join NMQA to learn how Sally designs her own fabric and has it printed by a company such as Spoonflower. The image below shows designs Sally has created using Procreate and inked to create the various colors and shading.
We'll also have Show & Tell at the meeting! If you're attending in person, bring your item with you and if you're attending through zoom, send your photos to Kris Lange, klange@email.com at least 48 hours before the meeting.
Instructor: Sally Williams
Have you ever wanted to add depth and character to your quilt? Do you like to embellish your quilts? Would you rather not buy 37 brown fabrics to get all of the shades you need for you quilt?
In this class we will play with some common tools to color the fabric you add to your quilt. In the first half of the class we will color a piece of pre-printed black and white fabric or some pre-quilted white fabric with Inktense pencils and alcohol markers. In the second half of this class we will use stencils and tsukineko inks to create a surface design on a piece of white fabric. We will use fabric markers and alcohol markers to further embellish the stenciled designs to make them pop. No drawing skills required.
There is a required $45 kit fee payable to instructor (cash or credit cards accepted) on the day of the class. The kit will provide most of the required items for the class.

However, due to contract obligations with instructors, NMQA is unable to provide refunds if you cancel your participation in a workshop and the Guild is not able to fill your place from a waiting list.
We'll have Show & Tell at the meeting! If you're attending in person, bring your item with you and if you're attending through zoom, send your photos to Kris Lange, klange@email.com at least 48 hours before the meeting.
