In this 45 minutes -1 hour combo slideshow and trunk show, we learn more about the Fabric Collage trend, who’s making fabric collage and how Jane makes her fabric collage quilts. We see various examples of Jane’s work over the years. How she has progressed from only making fish quilts, working through various themes to sharing her newer collaged pieces.

Part of the lecture will be “how-to” instructions if you are new to fabric collage. Jane will guide you through instructions for designing your own collage patterns, using photos or other images and how to enlarge the design. Learn about color and fabric choices, tools that are required and finally Jane’s relaxed technique that doesn’t require making pattern pieces , fusible
products but glue to hold the collage. She will also talk about free-motion quilting for collage and how to finish those quilts.
