8 LANDSCAPE QUILTING CLASS LARRY MCKENNEY SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 2018 (10:00 -???) Cost is $20.00 Participants will receive instruction on the basic design elements of a landscape and then will create their own interpretation of a landscape quilt. Starting with background fabric, we will build layers for the middle ground and the foreground using Misty fuse a lightweight fusible. Using fabric paints and/or fabric markers, details will be brought out to enhance the piece and give it depth and dimension. Demonstrations will be given on free-motion quilting to finish the quilt. Materials list: 1. One piece of foam core board (20 X 30) covered with batting. Wrap the batting around the board and tape it to the back using masking tape. Tis will be your work station and make it easy to carry back and forth to the ironing station. 2. Small rotary cutter I suggest an 18mm. It is easy to manipulate and cut intricate areas. 3. Scissors I suggest a small pair and a large pair. The smaller ones are good for cutting small areas box of parchment paper. (we use this so the fusing does not clog up iron) 5. Black sharpie marker (fine point and extra fine point work very well.) Fabrics: 1 yard of plain white cotton (can be muslin, bleached or unbleached) I work with a lot of textured fabrics like Stonehedge and Batiks. ¼ to ½ yard cuts should be enough. For a spring or summer landscape you will need 3 to 4 values of green, black, brown or gray (for tree trunks) and sky fabric For an autumn landscape you will need red, yellow, orange for leaves and either black, brown, or gray or the tree trunks. Continued on next page

9 Landscape Quilt Class Continued: If you want you can do a mono-chromatic landscape using five or six values of one color (ex, purple, blue, etc) For the tree trunks I like to use a textured fabric rather than a solid. The textured fabric gives more authentic look to the tree. Threads: Choose threads to match the fabrics you will be using. I like to use variegated threads because they blend well. Misty fuse will be available: Cost is $1.50 per yard. Bring an empty paper towel roll to roll it onto. Other items to bring: Cushion to sit on. Iron and ironing surface. Rotary cutters/mats/rulers Basic sewing materials: pins, needles, seam ripper etc Sewing machine in good working condition Bring lunch and/or snack. Beverages will be provided.
