Ruth McDowell Pictorial Quilt
Instructor: DJ Berger $95
Oct. 23, 24 & 30 10-2 pm
(3 sessions)
Ruth McDowell is famous for her pictorial quilts. She began by studying her gardens and creating quilts about those beautiful things. She later branched out to do studies of people and landscapes , forests and still life and all sorts of things. She has asked a few of her students to begin to teach her method of making and designing a quilt. First will be an examination of how her templates for quilt pieces are used. Knowing the limits of sewing by templates is basic to the next step of drawing out a beautiful quilt. The last step taught will be use of fabrics. This is a three day class, preferably with rest days (homework days) between classes. You will need to purchase Ruth McDowell’s “Piecing Workbook” . Other books by Ruth would also be helpful; Flowers, Design, and Vegetables to mention a few. www.ruthbmcdowell.com Beginning Free Motion Quilting
