Teaching at Red Hen Fabrics

I'm very excited to be teaching at Red Hen Fabrics. I taught several classes in January and find it invigorating. All skill levels are welcome and my classes are fun and friendly!

Here is a list of upcoming classes. More will be added as I develop them:

Peek A Boo Jacket
February 21 and February 28
Take a sweatshirt, a selection of your favorite fabric squares and turn it into a fabulous jacket fun for young and old. Looks fabulous in batik's and black and white! This jacket has been featured in Altered Couture Magazine!

Art Quilting – Part I
February 23 and February 28
Fabric Collage and Innovative Piecing
The first in a series of four classes. In each class you will make a 9 x 12 art quilt. In Part I you will learn design basics, layout and composition, and an overview of materials frequently used in art quilting. You will use Fabric Collage and Innovative Piecing techniques to make a 9 x 12 art quilt.

Art Quilting – Part II
March 23 and March 28
Mark Making on Fabric
Making your own personal mark on fabric with stencils, stamps or freehand can be a wonderful way to express yourself and create your own fabric. We'll be working on hand-dyed or commercial fabric with Paints, Stamps, Shiva Paintstiks, Angelina Fibers, Crystals and more. Supply Kit required $10.00

Art Quilting – Part III
April 27 and May 2
Thread Work
In this class, Rebecca will teach you simple techniques for successful thread painting (also called free motion embroidery). We'll also explore couching yarn and fiber and layering with sheers.

Art Quilting – Part IV
May 18 and May 23
Embellish with found objects
In this class we'll learn a bead embroidery techniques, and explore found objects as inspiration for art quilting.

Fabric Art Post Cards
March 17 and March 21
Sending Fabric Post Cards through the mail is a great way to say you care! Make fun fabric postcards using art quilting techniques. With our scraps we'll make ATC's (artist trading cards) and Inchies, 1” square pieces of art.
