Capturing Your Italian Escapade with Susan Nelsen Arrival 5th Sept to departure 12th Sept 2012 Deadline for registration is 27th June 2012 Ciao! Upon arriving in Paris several years ago, I went to the baggage claim for my luggage and it wasn’t there…. Two days later I still didn’t have my luggage so I went shopping in Paris for some clothes. Among the stuff I bought was a pair of jeans with rhinestone bling that to this day I refer to as my “Paris jeans.” Every time I wear them I think of my Paris adventure. The project you to take home from this workshop will be your cue to remember. When you see your “Italy quilt,” I want you to remember your Italian escapade! Before you arrive in Italy, explore travel books and websites for what interests you in Italy, and as you view photographs, consider colors and textures of what you see. What is it that catches your attention in what you see and read? For example, before going to Bali I read about the wild monkeys. While in Bali I visited one of the Monkey Forests, and then made my Monkey Tails quilt, using curved piecing with my SuperStrata curved piecing technique. The mountains of Bali inspired my Mirrored Mountains quilt with my straight SuperStrata technique, and the street markets were the inspiration for the colors in my Flower Market quilt. In this workshop you’ll learn two of my SuperStrata (straight and curved) techniques to design blocks for your own Italian Escapade quilt. We’ll have a great time together. Day 1: Introduction of two SuperStrata techniques for designing quilt blocks for your project. Then take the inspirational stroll through the ancient city. Return to the studio to discuss your personal plan for your block design and techniques. Discuss borders/ border treatments for the quilt top. Make simple a quilt plan for your project. Day 2: Finalize fabric decisions and use of the SuperStrata technics. Begin block construction in the sewing studio. Day 3: Continue block construction for quilt center and border. Day 4: Use the design wall for block layouts and begin quilt assembly. Day 5: Complete quilt top assembly with borders/border treatments. Grande Lavoro! You have your Italian escapade.
