Summer Fun - Workshops with Laura Wasilowski

 We thoroughly enjoyed two workshops with Laura Wasilowski on June 29 & 30, 2014 at Hankerd Inn in Pleasant Lake.  The workshops were "Tiny Houses" and "Garden of Eden".  We learned Laura's free style method of fusible applique and got to work with her amazing hand-dyed fabrics.  By the end of the afternoon, we had each earned a "degree" from the Chicago School of Fusing!

These are examples of some of the flowers that we could make by cutting, layering, and fusing Laura's hand-dyed colorful fabric.

These are ways to "build" using bits and pieces of fused fabric.

Below see some example of "Garden of Eden" mini-quilts.

Janet, as usual, created something a little "outside the box" !

Below, Cheryl shows her version of "Tiny Houses".
