Happy
Villages
6
Hour Fabric Collage Workshop
with
Karen Eckmeier
Explore the
freedom of fabric collage! No seams to piece or
match, no lines to trace….just free form cutting
of step and window shapes. Step by step your little
village will magically come to life. A layer of
tulle and machine stitching will complete your
fabric collage project.
Finished
size: 16½” square.
To
see Happy Villages that I have made using this
collage method, please visit my website: www.quilted-lizard.com
and look under the “Villages Gallery” and the
“Student Gallery.
