Happy
Villages
3
Hour Fabric Collage Workshop
Karen
Eckmeier
Leave
your sewing machines at home for this 3 hour
introduction to fabric collage construction. No
seams to piece or match, no lines to trace, …
just free form cutting of step and window shapes.
Step by step your little villages will magically
come to life. Projects can be completed at home
either by machine or by hand. Finished size: 16½”
square.
To
see Happy Villages that I have made using this
collage method, please visit my website: www.quilted-lizard.com
and look under the “Villages Gallery” and the
“Student Gallery”
