August 1, 2013 – Ann Petersen
www.obsessivequilter.weebly.com
(techniques: Developing machine quilting designs in color and "No-tear freezer paper-piecing in the round and setting circles into a background.")
 |
Ann Petersen has been quilting, on and off for most of her adult life but it has become her favorite pastime and occupation. She enjoys playing with design, color and texture in quilting and often enters quilt shows to test her skills. If she has a recognizable style it would be quilts which are heavily pieced, play with color shifts across the surface of a quilt, and are heavily quilted. |
Workshop: Friday, August 2, 2013 - "Beyond the Basics - Free Motion Quilting"
 |
In the class you will create a stitch sampler showing these stitches. If you just want to practice the stitches without making the stitch sampler, a 32" x 38" piece of nearly solid fabric (not white or off-white will be easier to mark), a 34" x 40" piece of backing fabric and a 34" x 40" piece of cotton or cotton blend batting. Ann will provide detailed information about threads, needles and other tools for free-motion quilting. |
