2 ½ Dimensions: Sculpting with the Quilting Stitch (Advanced) - “Chisel” the surface of your quilts with stitches to achieve sculptural effects.  Experiment with various fabrics, battings, threads, and quilting schemes on traditional quilt sandwiches, then, if you wish, try cut-aways filled with free-motion lace and layering embellishments to develop subtlety and depth in your works.  This process-oriented class is the beginning of a journey that can continue for years. (8 hours)
