<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nCathy Rogers\u00a0<\/b>will lead us in making whimsical collage portrait mini quilts, inspired by Jean Impey. No sewing machine needed, but plan on bringing these supplies:<\/p>\n\n- Fabric for the background<\/b>; you can use just about any kind of fabric you want and any size will work \u2014 a good starting place is a fat quarter or larger; you can also come with a pieced background of two or more fabrics to create additional visual interest<\/li>\n
- Fabric for the skin<\/b>; again just about anything works; think traditional skin colors, or go wild with colors like purple, green, blue, even prints, stripes, dots or anything else.<\/li>\n
- Fabric scraps to share<\/b>; anything works, and novelty fabric is especially good for this purpose! We\u2019ll also bring the guild\u2019s supply of fabric, so there should be an ample amount available.<\/li>\n
- Scissors<\/b>\u00a0rather than rotary cutters; this is an improv approach so no rulers needed either.<\/li>\n
- Water-soluble glue sticks<\/b>\u00a0to attach your pieces to the background; no need for interfacing or fusible web.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can expect to leave the meeting with a face collage complete (or mostly complete) and ready to finish at home. Use your domestic sewing machine or a long arm machine for quilting. We\u2019ll have a few completed examples and tips for how to finish your face. Some example pictures are attached.<\/p>\n
Also,<\/b>\u00a0bring\u00a0zipper pouches<\/u>\u00a0(we need about 20 more of the 9×11-ish size to give to Faces of Hope for sustainable period packs) and\u00a0drawstring backpacks<\/u>\u00a0(we\u2019ll have additional cording if you need some to finish up). You can also turn in any completed\u00a0scrappy leader\/ender<\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0scaled triangle blocks<\/u>.<\/p>\n
