This is a new technique and so much fun! We will explore the art that was inspired by the paper technique called “icire” also known as lace’, pronounced lassay. This will be a pillow top or wall hanging sized project, 14 ½ x 14 ½” without borders. Narrow borders can be added to make the center design pop. This project can be made with fat quarters too, but that limit’s the size of borders you want. To use fats you need four (4); one top color, one shadow, one lining, and one backing. The better the contrast to the fabrics the better the fold and shadow technique can be seen. Highly contrasting fabrics are need for this project.

A series of quilt patterns designed to be fun and easy, yet beautiful enough for framing. The size of the quilts correlate with the measurement ofg readymade frames for inexpensive, readily available framing while elevating quilting to the art form that it is. These are miniature quilts. Two colors in muted tones were used to create these patterns. You choose what color you want to make your quilt.

Paper Piecing made easy and a simple way to make half square triangles are a few of the techniques you will learn in this class. If you’ve had trouble learning how to paper piece, this will simplify it for you. It’s easier than it looks! Scraps would also work for this project.
