February 3 Linda Salitrynski

 

Award Winning Quilter and Owner of Country Keepsakes, Linda Salitrynski  has won numerous quilting awards including: several “Best of Show”  awards, other awards in Paducah, Houston and Quilters Expo in Wisconsin. 


Linda Salitrynski established Country Keepsakes in 1987, and it has  continued to grow and evolve over the past thirty-eight years. In  addition to stylish designer fabrics, quilting notions and thread, Linda  also offers unique hand dyed 100 percent Pimatex cotton  fabrics. Each yard of hand-dyed fabric is unique, just like the  projects made from them.


Workshop

Enhance Your Quilt With Thread Color Through Free Motion Quilting

Time: 8:30 AM – Noon

Location: Best Western Plus Loveland

Cost: $45.  There is a $15 supply kit payable to Linda at the time of the workshop; the kit includes a 14 inch center block with black borders as shown in the picture above.


Bring your machine  and a selection of threads (LOTS of different colors – you will understand why at the end of the  workshop). You will purchase a kit from Linda on which you will practice  free motion quilting with different threads. Come  join us for the morning, whether you feel you are an experienced free  motion quilter or not. If you have limited free motion quilting  experience some of us will be there to help you out. Your quilted piece  can be turned into a cushion top or a small wall hanging. 


Proper selection of  thread can enhance color in one section of the quilt while alternative  color selection will cause another section to recede.  Linda will guide  us through how to take our quilts to the “next  level”. We will leave with a better understanding of how thread color  impacts your quilting – something you will use over and over again –  whether selecting threads when you take your quilts to the long armer or  selecting threads for your smaller pieces that  you are quilting at home.
