Natalie Sewell is here once again teaching her fabulous technique for designing and collaging a landscape in fabric, thread, paint, and markers!

This eager class took to the process like ducks to water!

By the time I got into the studio to take pictures on the second day, Natalie was already showing them how to square up their landscape.

There are no rules, rulers, or templates used in designing or creating the landscapes, but when it comes to squaring it up and adding a border (sort of a frame for the picture), Natalie stressed that this was where good craftsmanship was essential. She said that you do not what to have a quilt that isn’t square or doesn’t lay flat to detract from your finished landscape!

I’ll post pictures of some student work in my next post.
