Weave That!
Jennifer spoke to the Guild about a year ago and there were numerous requests for her to return for a workshop. We are lucky to be able to have her back for a workshop is entitled “Weave That” which focuses on her technique for weaving fabric strips together to create a stunning background for appliqued images.
Jennifer says: Weaving a quilt background is a little like making a mystery quilt. How you think the finished piece will look and what you get can be quite different. This is part of the fun! While many of the samples below feature applique flowers, your finished background will speak to you about what kind of applique to use.
NOTE: This workshop will be held in the Cabrillo College sewing classroom, VAPA 1605.
