This year Quilt Hawaii
is on the Big Island again , this time at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Waikoloa. my class is all about the lovely heliconia and we will be painting flowers and fabrics. there are so many kinds of heliconia with the most amazing colors .
i have added some paintings and also some with machine quilting paired with yardages painted in above photos. drawing skills are not required as i have a good method of sharing some artistic skills. please note .....i have been at this for decades. basically , it really helps to have some good material, tools, and the time set aside to have fun. and encouragement helps! i can't teach you to be an artist but can share with you some of the techniques i have collected to put you on the road. ultimately you must do the work in your studio or on the kitchen table or under a shady tree. i am a facilitator, mostly.
this is always one of the best days of the year for me as we get to play with color and fabric and discover talents and techniques and make new friends. i have done this most summer fun project since 2000 and look forward to it once again this year.
i am having an all day class #303 , it is on Friday July 2, 2010.
i bring the all paints and some tools and samples to draw out the artist within.
