web note: I took both of Ana's classes at Quilting in the Trees this year and we learned transferring photos and designs to fabric, lettering, adding textures using moulding paste and gels, layering, painting on fabric and much more. If you have the opportunity to take a class with Ana, do not pass it by. She is encouraging, patient and her feather stitches Superb! - Karen Killins-Robinson Webmaster

Ana Buzzalino –Introduction to Fabric Painting 1 day
Friday plus 1.5 hour class the previous evening Beginners+

During the introductory class, the fabric will be chosen, layered with batting, and prepared for quilting. Principles of free-motion machine quilting will be reinforced. Each student will get a chance to discuss how to best quilt the piece in preparation for the next day’s class. The day of the class, we will explore mixing colors, the use of extender; discuss acrylics vs. fabric paints; brushes, etc. The focus of the class will be to paint the previously quilted piece using the fabric as a guide for color placement.

Ana Buzzalino – Transferring, Lettering and Painting on Fabric
2 days – Saturday and Sunday Beginners+ The class will focus on different methods of transferring photos and designs to fabric, lettering, adding textures, layering, etc. This is a fun class with lots of chances to explore new methods of adding interest to backgrounds and designs. Students will work on small samples of different techniques, so that at the end of the course they will have a “library” of techniques to refer to in the future. On the second day, students will have a choice of pulling some of the techniques together and work on a small art piece, or continue to work on individual samples using their favourite techniques. Different techniques will be explored each day.
