“Floral Improv” with the Arizona Quilters Guild
Floral Improv is such a fun class. The students learn a lot AND accomplish a lot in a relaxed atmosphere. The gals in Arizona had just such an experience, and made some fantastic quilts!
(I only got photos of a few.) Victoria’s dark background really created a lot of contrast and drama!
Cindy reversed the values on her poppies to great effect. Her quilt is so happy!
Audrey made good progress and was able to add black stitching to her poppies. Can you see (just barely) how it adds a lot of definition?
Kathy used an unusual combination of colors that made her quilt very lively. (There’s that poppy stitching again.) See the floating circles? They’ll become flowers once Kathy stitches on delicate stems for them.
During class Lynda completely finished stitching her quilt and even FRAMED it!!! She was so pleased.
Oh, I can see this gal’s face, but I can’t recall her name. (Please tell me if it’s you.) This piece is very successful thanks to the high contrast, black stitching on the poppies, and ORIGINAL leaves. I love the shape she came up with.
Finally, Vicki’s smile echoed the joy that everyone felt with their fun quilts. Isn’t hers great?
I sure had fun with this group and I think the feeling was mutual. Maybe your guild would live to give Floral Improv a try, as well.
