Description
Join frequent Quilting Arts® Magazine contributor Ana Buzzalino as she shares her latest foray into art quilting: creating a neutral-colored quilt and placing it into a dye bath!
Working with neutral-colored fabrics of natural-fiber content along with some poly-cotton blends, Ana demonstrates her process—from piecing and quilting to dyeing. After a thorough review of the required materials, Ana shares methods for designing and piecing quilts that are uniquely yours, with a focus on foundation-pieced landscapes and a wonky interpretation of the log cabin block. Next, Ana provides a free-motion quilting tutorial, sharing her effective quilting strategies and favorite motifs. Then she shows how she uses free-motion appliqué to complement the pieced and quilted design with silk velvet motifs. Finally, Ana provides step-by-step instruction on preparing the dye bath for the quilted piece. When the pieced and quilted quilt is placed into the dye bath, serendipity takes over.
You’ll quickly fall in love with the unpredictability of the results! The different textures of the fabrics are what make the results so serendipitous.
