From Orphan to Art
with Kim Brownell
"Are you in awe of those amazing art quilts? Wondering how to decide which blocks and images to use? You've come to the right place. If you have a stack of orphan blocks or scraps (you know those poor pieces that didn't quite fit anywhere in your projects). You have the start of a small art quilt. I will show you how to design a small wall hanging using orphan blocks, small sewn together scraps, and even pieces of UFO's that you've fallen out of love with. We will decide on a theme using orphans and images to create a background and focal point. Then we will add 3D elements, such as buttons, beads, and other ephemera to create truly unique piece. I will show you different ways to finish the piece, such as facing, zig-zag edging, etc. Now, how to hang it on the wall. Do you want to mount it on a canvas or hang it from a pre-made hanger? I cover that too. Let's give those orphans a home!"
