Quilted Memories

May 23, 2011

I’ll be teach­ing my “Quilted Mem­o­ries” shadow box class Fri­day evening, June 3rd, at The Crafty Scrap­per. The class will start at 5pm and costs $50. There is “LIMITED SPACE” avail­able for this class so make sure you call the store (972.923.3151) and sign up now. After a day of shop­ping at GASC in Arling­ton, what bet­ter way to end the day than spend­ing the evening at Carolyn’s fab­u­lous store. Car­olyn will have a crop going on one side, make n takes at the front and my class on the other side of the store. It’s going to be a FUN, FUN, FUN night!

My class will take 3–4 hours depend­ing on your skill level. Each square of this Maya Road shadow box is filled with baubles and ephemera bits remind­ing us of those days gone by. I’m shar­ing with you pieces from my tat­tered antique fam­ily quilt, pieces of vin­tage ledger papers from the early 1900’s, adorable mini tart tins, vin­tage shell but­tons, trims, lace and other minia­ture accents.

Please note: Since you will be cre­at­ing with vin­tage items cer­tain pieces will vary in color and shape but all will work per­fectly with your project.

Stu­dents need to bring: Clearsnap Creamy Brown Ink, Platinum Stick­les, Sewing Nee­dle (medium sized eye), 11 — 2mm Cream Self Adhe­sive Pearls, Cream Embroi­dery Floss, Pink­ing Shears (needs to cut through a quilt), Scis­sors, Paint­brush, Fabri-Tac, Strong Liq­uid Adhe­sive (Aleene’s Quick Dry), Foam Squares

See ya there!
