Supply List
January 8, 2005

In this workshop, "Instant Round Robin", participants will create a nature-themed, fabric collage using prepared fabric shapes brought by, and exchanged with, all other participants. Given the creative nature of this group, there won’t be many rules. (Too many self-described rebels!)

Here are the starting guidelines: Everyone brings the following:

25 of the same leaf or flower or small branch or insect (whatever, you get the idea) to which you have already fused Lightweight WonderUnder (by Pellon). Everyone needs to use the same fusible product, to have a consistent fuse time for all the pieces. Bring the pieces already cut. Use any cotton fabric that you like. Leaves, or "whatever", can be anywhere from 2-4" in diameter. Branches or stems might be longer.
A few options for the background fabric; perhaps an 18-inch square or separate blocks, or an old pieced block, a fabric book page, a sweatshirt. It will be fun to see how many different ways people can use the items and how differently they can be arranged, embellished and quilted!
Some kind of pressing board, small board or cardboard to support your background fabric for arranging your pieces.
Scissors Margaret and Kathy will bring irons and ironing boards, as well as books about freestyle and snippet quilting.

Everyone will put their cut shapes on a table and we'll all get one of each thing to arrange on our background. Everyone should feel free to use the pieces as they see fit (to cut or otherwise alter) without offending anyone. Artistic license rules! This will be great fun! ALSO: Please wear a name tag of some sort to our meetings. Be creative! We are adding new members all the time and we want everyone to know each other.
