Design Fun in Shelby, NC
This past weekend I got to teach “Design Your Own Nature Quilt” to a motivated group of women in Shelby, NC. In the morning they learned about balance, focal point, and working loosely. After lunch, they took their lessons to heart, as they created fabulous compositions.

Kathy worked on a morning composition exercise:
And later created this wonderful piece!
Laney spent quite a bit of time creating contrast within her all-red flower.
She was able to create some contrast and shading with her fabrics. Later, she’ll complete the look with contrasting stitching. It’s going to be fantastic!
Peggy created very dramatic tree/forest imagery, to which she’ll be
adding lacy leaves in yellow. Wonderful!
I’ll show you more progress from these Shelby quilters in my next post.

Can’t wait to see more – I especially love Peggy’s trees!
Yes, the trees are awesome. As are many of the pieces!
