Collage – Recklass & RaW Edge Applique by Jean Impey
Saturday,
Tickets coming soon
Creating art quilts with reckless abandon is one of my favorite ways to make whimsical applique. I have been teaching this fast and fun technique for about six years now. What makes it different from the rest? It allows everyone to be a successful artist by combining a wide variety of fussy-cut botanical fabric motifs with free-motion thread work. After all of the design and stitch work have been done and before the image is applique to the background, it is manipulated with water and friction to make each individual element “bloom.”
The technique is fun, whimsical, improvisational, and even slightly imprecise – in a good way – allowing your inner designer to shine.

Finding Your Passion and Running With It (Lecture & Trunk Show)
Saturday,
Tickets comming soon
The spider web design made a huge impression on me back in 2007. I started making one and then found I couldn’t make them fast enough to keep up with all the ideas that originated from this one design.
I love sharing my spider webs with others, showing them how one thing lead to another and when you find something that clicks, I think you need to keep at it, maybe you call it a series?

Biography
Art has been an integral part of my life since I was a child. I remember always being intrigued and absorbed with making things. My mother encouraged my exploration of all things creative and my life-long creative journey took off including painting, sewing, photography, ceramics, embroidery, gardening just to name a few.
My essence is defined by boundless style, unbridled passion, and inexhaustible energy. I thrive on the thrill of discovery, the beauty in observation, and the perspectives of others. Every moment is an opportunity for me to engage with the world through artistic expression.
In my realm, there’s no notion of “doing it wrong”; creativity knows no boundaries. I resonate with Albert Einstein’s wisdom: “The easiest way to be creative is to try something different, even if doubt lingers.”
I eagerly anticipate the chance to share my unique narrative, creative endeavors, and unwavering passion with you.
