UTAH VALLEY QUILT GUILD
45 NORTH MAIN STREET
LINDON, UTAH
May 16, 2012
Board Meeting: 9:30am
Using "Throw away" scraps to create a work of art.
Forum in May will be a working class, making a mosaic collage-type quilt. You will need a pattern traced onto a piece of muslin. I look for coloring pages online and enlarge them to be as big as I want. I had my grandchildren just draw something, but I know kids are less intimidated by that than adults. Fish, birds, flowers, bugs, butterflies, and some landscapes are good things to pick. Bring your imaginations and an open mind. This will be different for you. I will bring all my scraps. You don’t need to bring any unless you have a piece you would really like to use. If you are making a fish, a fabric that looks like fish scales or gills would be good to bring. If you are making a rooster, fabric that looks like feathers or wattles etc would be good.
