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)

There is a Season


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 Appliqué

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)

Jigsaw Appliqué

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)
