List of Supplies:
Basic student kit - $30, will be provided in class.
Includes enough assorted strips and scraps of hand-woven and embroidered Guatemalan textiles for the quilt top. Pre-washed and ready to use in your project.
You need to supply additional coordinating fabrics; see below.
Basic sewing & sewing machine supplies
Sewing machine with ¼” foot
Measuring tape
Fabric & paper scissors
Masking Tape
Rotary cutter, mat & ruler (at least 12” long)
Freezer paper & fine permanent marker for templates
2 large sheets of poster paper, (approx. 34”x 26”) to draw the master pattern
Notebook & colored pencils (to sketch and take notes)
2 yds. FLANNEL or Pellon fleece for a design wall (at least 72” long) – this is crucial!
Coordinating fabrics for your improvisational "blocks" to mix-n-match with the Guatemalan textiles: Bring 20 – 25 fat eights (or large scraps) in assorted colors and patterns! Suggestions: my “Guatemalan Rainbow” collection by Robert Kaufman; batiks, hand-dyes, plaids, stripes, geometrics.
For your design's background: 1 1/2 yds. of a wonderful, interesting hand-dyed fabric in LIGHT value, may be gradated or with colors changing from one to another (i.e.: light pink to light orange to yellow). Bring something you adore!
Iron & ironing board
Heavy duty, multi-plug extension cord & table top lamp
Optional:
I will bring extra, assorted Guatemalan fabric that students can purchase if they so desire. Washing & care instructions will be provided.
Note to Workshop Organizers: * All students in my classes need a "design board" to work on. They will bring 2 yds. of flannel or fleece to cover it with, so they can use it in lieu of a design wall. These boards should measure approx. 30" x 72". (If boards cannot be available, then each student needs at least 30x72" of individual wall space. They can tape the flannel to the wall instead).This is crucial!
* I will need a slide projector for this workshop, and a CD player. Thank you!
