Barbara's classes at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival:

SATURDAY 1:30-4:30 p.m.
My Signature (hand embroidery)
Presented by Barbara Crawford
Class fee: $30 Kit fee: $20
Barbara's signature on all her work is hand embroidery. It’s an art that has been set aside for machine embroidery. There is nothing more beautiful and leaves a lasting impression as hand embroidered leaves and vines, lazy daisies, chain stitch, blanket stitch, feathering, and French knots. It is Barbara's favorite detail on her appliqué work and needle felting works and even quilts. In this workshop you will make a small appliqué wall hanging that embroidery is added to. You'll learn all the wonderful stitches using perle cottons and wool felts and you will receive an embroidery chart to take with you for a helpful reminder if you need it. It is a truly inspiring and relaxing class.
Bring normal sewing supplies to class!

SUNDAY 9-10 a.m.
Nuno Felting
Presented by Barbara Crawford
Class fee: $10
By manipulating a minimum amount of wool fiber through a fine base weave we could make a felted fabric with characteristics quite different from traditional felt. Nuno felt is lightweight with drape and flexibility. There are many possibilities for transparency, exciting texture and creativity. This wonderful seminar focuses on the technique also know as laminated felting. This is a great educational opportunity for everyone no matter what your sewing or felting skill level may be.

SUNDAY 10:30 -11:30 a.m.
There's a Fabric Designer in You !
(No artistic ability required)
Presenter: Barbara Crawford
Class fee: $10
Get ready for another play date with Barbara. She will show you the process of "Outprinting" and designing wool felt fabric pieces using all kinds of fun, stencils, and paint brushes, and Faux chenille to add texture quickly and create a reversible purse. Learn to create all kinds of groovy prints by removing the color rather that adding the print. Learn how stencils and patterns, and silk threads can be used to create dimensional appliques as well an extra bonus creating a rusched dupioni silk, and rhinestone accents!
