Recent Teaching Activity

I have been very busy lately with designing, teaching and trunk shows. I was teaching again Saturday at Hummingbird Sewing in Barrie my Explore Threading Painting Class.  It was so much fun!  The ladies did a great job with their individual projects.  All were experienced at free motion quilting and therefore were able to grasp the beginner thread painting concept with ease.  See a picture of the ladies and their projects below:

'Thank You to these lovely ladies for allowing me to share pictures of their work with you and for attending my class.  It was truly an honour to share my love of thread painting with you!

I know it is somewhat hard to see but what I taught was my method of basic raw edge machine appliqué and then a technique to thread paint using a sewing machine and needle over the appliqué to make the project textured, shaded and dimensional.  

We used embroidery thread, variegated threads and solid coloured threads of many varieties. Who does not love thread? It only makes everything better and this class is a great opportunity to audition those lovely thread strands ❤️

Do you have a guild or group who wants to learn how to thread paint?
 
​Click on the "More" tab above and then "Teaching" or click here to see how I can teach with your group. I love this technique so much that I would be happy to teach it to all quilters and those passionate about needle work. 

I am off to The Region of York Quilters' Guild Meeting this evening to show my "Quilters Journey" and Trunk Show and looking forward to it.

Happy Wednesday!
