*International Quilt Festival -Houston- Classes*

*Improv Half Square Triangle*

is the class I will teach this year at

Houston Quilt Festival

.

Do you want to try something different? Do you want to play outside the box?

With just a few materials you can easily add a POP of color to your quilt blocks. This is an ideal way to use up leftover fabric from other projects and create an entire new quilt. The design possibilities are endless. It’s a perfect technique for working in small spaces.

We will paint a detail on a white piece of cloth and combine it with a colorful fabric to create our block. Basic instructions will be given and each student can create their own design. Lots of fun!

One of the materials required for class is a a small set of paints. It costs $8.50 and if you call the store 800-228-9393 they will not charge you shipping and you pick it at their booth at Festival. Ask for MKINKKIT or tell them is for my class; they will know :)

Here are other design possibilities:

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you there!

My work is on the Cover of *Quilting Arts Magazine*

I have exciting news. I have not only a new article for the upcoming issue of Quilting Arts but I also made THE COVER!


I am so happy. I am on page 62 and the title of the article is *Add a POP of Color*. It's a modern twist to the well known half square triangle. It's fun and different.


In this close-up you can see how I quilted with the sewing machine and by hand with big stitches.



This is a variation of this fun technique. You can find more information HERE
