Course Description Join me for a creative, hands-on class where you’ll learn how to transform a photograph into a dynamic quilted “storyscape.” We’ll explore the art of piecing curves using fusible interfacing, thoughtful shape-building, and—yes—plenty of pins! Step by step, you’ll gain confidence in constructing smooth, organic curves and translating visual inspiration into fabric. Once complete, you will have a beautifully pieced toucan design, finishing at approximately 16" x 20".

Learn how to evaluate a project before you begin to develop a piecing strategy and identify any special considerations. Plus, see how small decisions about fabric, thread, needles, pressing, and more add up to make a big impact on the end result. Students will complete a class exercise that features curved piecing and partials seams.
Mounting quilts on canvas can transform small works, adding an air of sophistication and gravitas to a piece. It's also a great technique for mid-size quilts. During this workshop, the class exercise from the precision piecing workshop will be mounted onto an artist's canvas using Kelly's technique that creates sharp, clean corners. You'll go home with a work of art ready to hand on the wall! Kelly's website: www.kellyspell.com Instagram: @KellySpell
