A PowerPoint lecture featuring my architecture quilts. My recent move to Philadelphia has inspired a new series of quilts featuring favorite buildings and vistas. I include the techniques used to create these quilts in the lecture. Members: Free Non-members: $ 5
Workshop:(Zoom): March 15, 2025 and March 22, 2025 12:30 pm EST- 3:30 pm EST Architecture Quilts
A full day workshop (which we split into 2-3hr. sessions) creating a quilt based on an architecture photo. Do you have a favorite building you’d like to recreate? We will be doing fused applique using a picture that has meaning to you. Rachel would like you to pick something that brings a smile to your face whether it be the barn you raised cows in or a pier you visited with your grandpa or a dock that housed your family boat. The class will work on how to create proper perspective and how to infuse some vibrant color into your buildings to create a beautiful masterpiece. Members: $ 35.00 Non-members: $ 40.00
