Picture Piecing
A Quilter's Retreat Creating dynamic pictorial quilts
with Cynthia England
September 5-9, 2012
$1200 |
Cynthia combines aspects of painting, stained glass and needle-work in a unique quilting technique she calls Picture Piecing. Add the artistic talents she perfected as a commercial graphic artist to her innovative picture piecing method and the results are astound-ing, award-winning quilts.
Cynthia's most recognized quilt, Piece and Quiet, was chosen as one of "The Twentieth Century's Best American Quilts" in 2000. In addition to this award, Cynthia has won Best of Show twice at the International Quilt Festival in Houston for her quilts Piece and Quiet, 1993, and Open Season, 2000.
We will begin this retreat with a small project designed to teach the basics of the Picture Piecing technique. Our days will include lecture, demonstration and time for you to begin working on your own landscape quilt.
Start sorting through your photographs for inspiration & collect fabrics resembling nature.
