āWhew! I finally got done with my mini art quilt/greeting card workshop, which I have been wanting to do for a long time! In the workshop, I will show you a few of my 'secrets' for making art quilts that look more difficult than they are! I'm also getting ready to do the live version of my Simple Secrets for Starting Art Quilting class again in a few weeks, so this is kind of a sneak peek. (Iām thinking Feb. 26-Apr 5 for that, watch here to know for sure. And of course it's always available in the self guided version.)
In the workshop, (all pre-recorded videos) I will show you how to make this little greeting card sized art quilt. (and it includes how to turn it into a greeting card). Except for a bit of the binding, which has some repetition so I didn't show it all, I did every step in real time, and I think it's about 45 minutes total! I've made about a million, so it might take you a bit longer for your first one, but they're pretty quick! It's basically my Moonshadows pattern, (but without the moonā¦ and the shadowsā¦), and I will show you how to make the pattern yourself, so you can apply it easily to other designs. Everything you need is in the free workshop, but I thought it would be fun to add an optional bonus VIP live Zoom call for questions (and show and tells if anyone wants to!) That will be in about two weeks, on Saturday, February 3, at 3:00 pm eastern. If you want to join in the fun, register on the workshop page, for $10. The workshop itself is available anytime, just save the link (button below) or this email somewhere! (Please do not share the link though, itās only for current and new newsletter subscribers Anyone new who subscribes will automatically get the link! ā Iām still doing my 100 Days of Quilted Greeting Cards on Instagram and Facebook, I hope you are following along there! This week has been traditionally pieced cards, I will put a few below. The middle batch was made from orphan quilt blocks! ā Happy sewing! Beret
