In this workshop you will learn the techniques to construct a window inspired wall hanging full of beautiful botanicals, butterflies, dragonflies & bumble bees. We will be delving into the world of creating art quilts by adding an assortment of techniques and embellishments to your creation. If you prefer, you can create a traditional wall hanging, and forgo the art quilt techniques. Techniques to be discussed include but are not limited to: perspective designing, design as you go, free motion thread painting, hand painting fabric, TempLee, fiber couching, raw edge applique, 3D embellishments, beading and binding.
