Silk Art Quilts Made Simple

Posted on by

I have a new online course for you! In Silk Art Quilts Made Simple, you’ll create a stunning art quilt using the finest fabric of all—silk. I’ll show you how to select the best silks for your design, how to paint a sky fabric, and how to fuse the silk for easy handling.

Next, you’ll learn to construct your design on silicone release paper, using free-cutting and pattern transfer techniques, and then prepare your quilt top for stitching by steam-setting it to wool batting. In the final lesson, we’ll discuss thread and needle choices and I’ll demonstrate beautiful hand embroidery stitches to bring your silk piece to life.

This class comes with a list of resources for silk, directions on how to paint silk fabrics, a pattern for the Fine Line Tree above, and how to make a pillowcase binding for your design.

Make something beautiful! Join me and make a silk art quilt.

My New Website is Live!

I am happy to announce that my new website is ready for viewing. Yippee!

Now that I’m no longer dyeing thread for the masses I’ve set new goals: making more artwork, exhibiting my art, and exploring new art forms.

I’ll Fly Away #2 by Laura Wasilowski

To fulfill this glamorous goal, I have a new website just for my art. The best part about this new website is that I didn’t have to design it. Holly Knott is my web guru and she did an amazing job creating it!

What’s Next?

Thanks to the many thread-a-holics out there my stock of hand-dyed threads for sale is totally depleted. (Except for the ones I’m hoarding for myself!) I’ve received many kind notes from stitchers who have used the threads in their artwork. And I want to thank you all for all your well wishes and support over the years.

So what’s next now that I’m no longer dyeing thread for the masses? I’ll tell you what!
My intention is to make even more artwork, exhibit my art, and explore new art forms.

And I’d like to encourage you to make more art too! That’s why my online Tutorials are still available for you to try. And why I will continue to create classes for Creative Spark Online Learning.

Again, thank you so much for supporting this working artist over the years!
