For this 1-day workshop Jane encourages students to watch her video and make a pattern of their dog or cat before class – See video: Click Here . This will allow them to spend more time working
on the collage in class. If you are not happy with your pattern, or if you register for the class at the last minute, you may spend time in class making a pattern of your pet and
watch all of the demonstrations on the collage technique throughout the class. In this case, you will need to have your photo enlarged and bring it to class. As an alternative,
Jane will have a few patterns of cats and dogs with her, that you could use. This would give you an opportunity to learn the fabric collage technique, and work it out on a small
project before embarking on your own portrait of their own pet at a later date.
Using a photo of a pet enlarged to about a 20” size we will use a variety of fabrics and we will trace and fussy cut these fabrics and apply in Jane’s raw edge fabric collage
technique. A close up of your pets face probably works best. Jane will give guidance on making the enlargement approx. 200% before the class which will be used as the
pattern. (See video: Click Here ).
FYI…In a 1-day class students will only complete about a quarter to a half of the collage and will not need a sewing machine. Jane will give guidance on stitching and finishing
the quilt.

Have you ever wanted to try making an improv quilt but didn’t know where to start? This is a fun class where you will learn a technique for working without a pattern, using simple math and combining a variety of blocks to make a 15”x18” wall quilt. We will be creating several different kinds of blocks, such as flying geese, half square triangles, log cabins and others, as well as some new ones, and working with a design wall to configure them into a pleasing little quilt.
Since Paulina won’t be doing a presentation at a guild meeting, she will be in the church lobby at the September and October meetings so you can meet her and see some of her beautiful quilts.
Registration will open on September 1st.
