Express Yourself: Creating Quilt and Fiber Art Projects with Lorraine Woodruff-Long

Express Yourself! Creating Text for Quilt and Fiber Projects

Saturday, June 13, 10am - 4 pm, Santa Monica Joslyn Park Auditorium

Learn how to create and use custom applique lettering in your quilts and sewing projects. From the sweet to the shocking, using text to express your creativity adds a personal touch to your quilts. Great for expressing everything from “Happy Birthday” to “Smash the Patriarchy” - just make it yours! What will YOU say?

Participants will learn how to plan, trace, and cut detailed letters using standard alphabet templates and fusible paper backing on fabric. Learn how to plan, center, layout and iron your text to a quilt or pillow cover, and finally, learn how to sew/secure your custom text to your quilt using your sewing machine to ensure it stays put.
