Quilted Leather Journal

Virtual Workshop Via Zoom

Wednesday February 17, 2021

This is a GREAT class to learn about leather and how to quilt on it without committing yourself to a huge project!  You will choose from several different quilting designs, transfer one to your leather (supplied in your kit), you'll quilt it, then finish making your journal cover.  You will completely make your leather journal before class is over!  (You can also embroider on your journal cover; you bring designs to choose from and all embroidery supplies needed.). Your friends won't believe you made this!  These make great gifts too!  And you'll LOVE how fun it is to quilt on leather!!!

 Two-Fabric Bargello

In-Person Workshop

Trini-Mendenhall Community Center

9AM - 4PM

Only TWO fabrics are used in this class to create a fabulous bargello quilt. Today’s fabrics including an ombre and a contrasting colorful print are all that’s needed for an easy take on a classic design. Join Lou Ann Nichols as she walks us through Susie Weaver’s Two-fabric Bargello pattern. You will love how magical this top looks as it is coming together! 

Registration is open NOW through March 16, 2021. Register via email to workshops@qgghouston.org. Fee is $40, payable by Zelle or check.

Pattern purchase required. 

Love the look of batik, but hate the mess? Using a water-soluble resist, outlines are created with a fine line applicator. The next step is painting, and you don’t even have to wait for the resist to dry! Once complete, rinse out the resist with water. Voila! Easy & Fun! 

 We will start by learning the technique, then we just play on fabric with the paints to warm-up. We'll do the same with the resist. After practicing, there will be a choice of designs to choose from. Once the resist dries, we will paint the background of the image. There will be time to create more than one image. Email me if you would like to work on your own design, so I can help you modify it. 

KIT Fee: $29. This includes fabrics, paint palette, paint brushes, resist and tip, use of paints, air erasable marker, pencil, notebook with instructions, hoop for stretching fabric, absorbent fleece, paper towels, plastic for tables.
