The retreat is already full.
We are keeping a waiting list Often someone has to back out at the last minute, so you still have a chance to join the fun.
You will leave this workshop with your own original piece painted with the thread painting/quilting started to bring it to life.
In this workshop, you will first learn how to paint images with Procion dyes on cotton. Learning to control the dyes will be emphasized. Among other things, we will cover blending, layering, special effects and painting without bleeding. All of these techniques can be used to create images as complex as portraits or as simple as a line on a scarf.
Each student is asked to bring two or three 18"x 20" designs or drawings that they will transfer onto cloth and then paint. These drawings can be fruits or rounded objects, still life, animals, faces, or anything you would like to paint. Any image can be used as long as it has been made into an 18" X 20" black and white line drawing. It would also help to have an example or an idea of your color choices.
In the second part of the workshop, we will explore new ideas about how to use quilting to enhance the look of your painted cloth. The main objective is to use quilting lines to create depth, texture, tension, or shadowing which will give a new dimension to your quilt. Lines can be inspired by an endless variety of things (nature, architecture, technology, etc.) to add visual interest and reinforce your overall design. Even straight lines can become a design in themselves. You will be working with the images you have painted during the first part of the workshop. This workshop is based on free-motion machine quilting but the design techniques can be adapted to hand quilting. Experience in one or the other is required.

We would like to remind all of our members and inform our guests what the policy is for cancellations of pre-paid retreats, events and classes.
If you are not able to attend a pre-paid LNCQ event (e.g. bus trip, retreat, workshop), you must contact the event organizer who will then notify the people on the waiting list starting with #1. This way, it is possible that you will receive a partial or complete refund.
There will be NO refund given if:
We understand that there are always going to be times when the above happens. We would love to be able to give refunds. Unfortunately, the vendors hold LNCQ responsible for the entire cost and the League cannot afford to cover your fee. We need everyone to fully understand and accept these terms when registering and paying for a retreat, event, or class.
We thank you for your continued support and participation in LNCQ.
