sizes? Suppose you could show them all how to create great fast quilts that go together beautifully? In
Fast, Fun, Fabulous, Carol Miller will show you how to
work with simple pieces, get accurate results and turn out great quilts for yourself, for gifts or for charity.

This Georgia
O'Keefe painting has been filtered through the heart and hands of Marilyn Belford
and rendered in fabric and thread. Wish you could do that with your favorite artist? Marilyn will share her
techniques and guide you through the process in Artists Revisited. Interpreting
masterworks has long been a teaching tool for creating your own masterpieces. See
what other students have done in class. Learn more.
When you
go into your studio, how much time do you spend looking for the things you need? Wouldn't you rather spend your time
actually working on your projects? The key is having a space that fits your needs and suits your way of working.
Myrna Giesbrecht brings her experiences as both a quilter and an interior designer to
Studio Makeover. Having your own space is the ultimate gift to yourself.

treasured memories an elegant setting with Fabric Pages. The one shown here opens up like an envelope.

or a person in this special way. See student work in the

Is
your embroidery machine just sitting there like a big, expensive paperweight?
Let Joanne Winn show you how to download designs, print them out, even convert
them if they are in the wrong format for your machine. You will be best
friends with your embroidery machine after you take Beginning Machine
Embroidery. You dreamt about adding beautiful threadwork to your projects
and now you can. Learn more.
Playing
with Paint gives you a chance to get down and dirty. You can smear
paint on fruit, vegetables, plastic mesh, hand-carved stamps, freezer paper
stencils, bubble wrap and nearly anything else you can think of. Why
should children have all the fun? Lyric Kinard will show you how to
unleash your inner child and make wonderful designs on your fabric.
Experiment with both wet and dry washes. Finish up by creating a
unique silk scarf. Learn more.
