MOSAIC FABRIC WORKSHOP

A few of the almost completed scarves

On January 21-23, members of Common Threads along with a few equally creative fiberholics, gathered together for the Anita Mayer MOSAIC FABRIC WORKSHOP. Most also attended the TALL TALES OF TRAVEL lecture Monday evening where Anita talked about her love of traveling to exotic places to explore the native handwork that inspires her so.

 

The first step in making our fabric was to paint organza with a layer of net on top. The colors each participant chose inspired further development of each unique piece.

We then selected a variety of complimentary fabrics which we cut into small squares, meshing them between the organza and the net and continued with quilting and embellishment.

The variety of the finished pieces was astounding and all participants seemed extremely pleased to have spent three wonderful days soaking up the creativity and philosophy of the very wise and talented Anita Mayer. This was Anita's second year with us and I already hear whispers for more.
