Learn the techniques I like to use to create fantasy landscape quilts full of color and depth. In this class we will be focusing in depth on various multi media techniques which you may use on your landscape quilts. This is landscape quilting which suggests a scene but we are not necessarily going for realism. You may wish to focus on only some of the techniques I offer or you may wish to learn them all. There will be an extensive supply list. You may wish to learn all or just some of the techniques offered so please consider the supply list carefully. You may wish to create a landscape quilt to finish by the end of this class or you may wish to just focus on mastering the various techniques now to use on a future landscape quilt.
