The Community Centre will be abuzz with activity and fabulous workshops when Vancouver Island Fibre Fest comes to town May 3-5.
An appliqué class will include how to construct a woven basket filled with ivy and flowers as well as Mola, a South American art form that incorporates reverse appliqué and simple embroidery stitches.
The class will be taught by Val Ursulak from Nanaimo, who has taught many appliqué classes for various guilds all over Vancouver Island.
One of her works of art was an appliqué quilt Feathered Friends and Flowers, which won second place in a World Quilt competition in the United States.
Jackee Thaysen, a well known and well-respected quilter and teacher will teach Nine Patch Frenzy.
In this class you will go from a regular nine patch to wonky nines and curvy tens!
Don’t miss this fun class where Jackee will share her wealth of quilting knowledge!
Sylvia Dutch will teach leaf/flower bowl creation.
Be part of the group that learns to put together a pretty fabric bowl that can be used as a votive holder or a candy dish.
