Nancy Prince, Award-winning quilter, author, national thread painting & sketching teacher, as well as, TQS guest and classroom instructor, would like you to join her in her inaugural, first ever quilting retreat in sunny Orlando, FL April 30-May 5, 2013.
If you don't know what thread painting is - well, instead of using a paint brush and paint, you will use the sewing machine needle as the paintbrush and the thread as the paint color. Her anyone-can-do-it approach will assure you success right from the start.
(Quilt: School Days - This is the workshop project.)
To get more information and to sign up for the retreat go to Nancy's website, www.nancyprince.com and click on the Retreat tab for upcoming Retreat dates. Nancy can be contacted by email at Retreat@nancyprince.com.
Nancy was a guest in Episode 1004 - "Painting" with Thread with Nancy Prince, available to Star members.
