Virtual Class – Nōtan
Nōtan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark elements as they are placed next to the other in the composition of art and imagery. Our goal during this fun and creative workshop is to create a NOTAN design using fabric; remove negative spaces from the positive space then flip the negative space so that it mirrors the positive space; then finally, using your preferred raw-edge applique technique; affix all pieces onto the background. Students are provided a base pattern however individual designs are encouraged. Basic quilting supplies are needed, one yard of each a dark and light quilting cotton such as batik and Steam a Seam 2 fusible. A full supply list and basic pattern are provided.

simple to piece but entertaining to look at quilt. You will use these color
principles in many future quilts to create depth and interest!
➢ $8 pattern fee
➢ You will leave class with a start on a layout for your strips, an
understanding of how to achieve the transparency effect, and an
understanding of how to piece the block and finish the quilt.
➢ Appropriate for all levels.
Saturday, October 23, 2021 In Person – “Gemstone Bling”
Member – $55 & Non-member – $75
Create your own sparkling gem using the same techniques that artist and designer MJ Kinman has used to create her giant gem quilts for over 20 years. MJ’s gem quilts have been
featured in Quilting Arts Magazine and McCall’s Quilting Magazine, and she’s been on Quilting Arts TV and The Quilt Show.com with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.
➢ Pattern (Julia brings for in-person; $18+tax, payable at class).
➢ Select your birthstone, or any gem you think is lovely. Finished size is 17”.
➢ Fabric bundles are available from Julia, featuring Fat Quarter solids from Paintbrush Studios in carefully gradated values that will make your gem shine and glow! $2.25+tax/FQ
needed ➢ For those wanting to provide their own fabric – Use solids, blenders or tone on
tones. Distinct patterns will detract from the faceted effect. There are color chips in the pattern to help you select your fabrics.
➢ This isn’t your typical foundation paper piecing. Freezer paper templates (included in the
pattern) are ironed to the right side of your fabric and can be easily removed after piecing.
And best of all, these patterns don’t require absolute precision, so you can relax and enjoy
every aspect of making your gem
➢ Skill Level: Confident Beginner
Sign up by 9/30/21 to ensure you get your first choice of Gemstone!
