 Picture
This: Photographs & Memories
Do
your favorite photos lie stored away in an album which is never opened? Do you
wish you could bring a moment from the past back to life? Cheryl will show you
the way to create those special times captured on film to life in an art quilt
designed, not from photo transfer, but through fabric. Be inspired to create a
special quilt "album" of memories. (1 hour; coordinating workshop available)

What better way to celebrate
a holiday than by making a special quilt for the occasion? Using a variety of
quilted items, Cheryl will demonstrate ways to bring quilting into your home décor
and inspire you to create quilted gifts for special occasions. Holidays featured
include Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, and Easter. (1 hour; coordinating workshop

A
Time to Sew
Many historical quilt
blocks expressed the faith and spiritual belief of their makers. Cheryl will take
you on a quilt tour of faith-filled blocks, display quilt banners designed for
use in church services, and give you ideas for creating your own spiritual expression.

 Two
Easy Ways to Applique'
No time for
needle-turn appliqué? The 6 hour workshop teaches two quick and easy ways
to appliqué without the time commitment needed for more traditional methods.
Techniques using fusible web appliqué with machine and machine appliqué
with invisible thread are taught. Participants create two identical blocks using
the different techniques, allowing them the opportunity to compare methods and
results side by side. The 3 hour workshop can be customized to fit your needs.
It offers instruction in one of the two appliqué methods or, if you want
both techniques demonstrated, participants make only one motif using each method,
rather than assembling an entire block.(3- hour or 6-hour versions)

 Photo
Finish
This
workshop does not use photo transfer methods. Instead, it will instruct participants
in the techniques of photo fabrications using fusible web and invisible thread.
You will create your photograph in cloth. Participants will be amazed at their
ability to duplicate favorite photographs in cloth without the use of photo transfer
techniques. The 3 hour workshop demonstrates the technique and the 6 hour workshop
allows participants to construct a sample project. The two day workshop allows
participants to select a photograph of their own choosing and create their own
photo fabrication. It is amazingly easy! (3-hour or 6-hour workshop - could be
2-day workshop)

or 6 hour workshop) **Project selection must be determined at the time of scheduling.

 Spiritual
Expressions
This workshop provides
participants the opportunity to express their faith through their art. In the
three hour workshop participants construct a block with spiritual significance,
using machine techniques. The 6 hour workshop allows participants to create an
entire wall hanging or banner top using fusible web construction and/or machine
piecing. The projects selected for this workshop can be customized for the sponsoring
guild. (3-hour or 6-hour workshop) (top)
