Ideas can be found for everything about your project within your favorite print. Your creativity can be unleashed by using the clues that your fabric reveals. Listen and learn lots more reasons to acquire fabulous fabric! A Two-Day Workshop - Garment or Quilt Design Today's fabric is a delight to the eye and the touch, and who can resist making purchases even with no project in mind? This workshop is devoted to making use of some of that wonderful fabric by using the theme, colors, and textures that it reveals. During this stimulating workshop, participants will create highly individual pieced and/or appliqued projects. With Rita's guidance and the input from other class members, special design elements will be planned for each person's project. Several techniques for fabric manipulation and enhancement will be demonstrated. Color and fabric selection assistance will be given and good value placement and composition will be discussed. A One-Day Skirt and Vest Workshop Have you run out of shelf space for all your plaid cotton fabrics? This garment class will help you use some of each of them! A very easy but effective spiral skirt will be planned and begun in the morning session. After a lunch break, a vest (or jumper top) will be created using a solid color fabric as a base. Building on that, ribbons, trims, and satin stitching will be combined in a plaid configuration to compliment the skirt. A One-Day Workshop This colorful quilt features a 3-D version of the traditional Drunkard's Path Block, paper-pieced stars, jingle bells, and prairie points.

We will be experimenting with a simple set of shapes which will be set in rows. There will be several alternatives shown, and assistance given with color, value, and composition. Each class member will create a strikingly unique project which can be finished as a quilt or as a garment.
