Alex opens this stimulating show with tips for quilting on Dupioni silk. This gorgeous fabric requires additional TLC, but the results can be stunning! Contemporary Fiber Artist Barbara Shapel then joins the show, to share her quilting odyssey. She too uses silk, spending as much time on piecing as she does on threadwork. Barbara works with themes of motherhood, nature and words, and her work reflects all of these elements. She will:
- Show how she approaches her work.
- Offer tips to improve your quilting and threadwork.
- Demonstrate a dense, free-motion stitch she calls “Herky Jerky,” which blends thread colors.
- Discuss how to keep your quilt stable while at the same time keeping your shoulders healthy.
- Share how she creates an invisible sleeve, which she uses on her numerous two-sided quilts.
