"TEXTILES OF JAIPUR"

AND "PRESSING MATTERS"

THOUSAND OAKS GRANT R. BRIMHALL LIBRARY

1401 E. JANSS ROAD, THOUSAND OAKS

Jaipur is known for its textile traditions which have flourished for centuries and include hand-block printing, natural dyeing, indigo dyeing, Shibori, and more. On Friday, May 17, 2024, CVQ member, Kathy Rogers, will present a slide show of her personal textile journey of Jaipur. She will also show you some of the textiles she purchased and created in workhops along the way!

After the presentation, members will share their tips and tricks of pressing. Yes, "pressing matters!" When do you press your fabrics in your creative process? How often? What are the tools you use? Stay tuned for an "open mike" session and share your favorite tips as well. Bring along your favorite tools!

GUEST FEE: $5.00

FLYING GEESE FOUR WAYS!

ZOOM WORKHOP

with

JANICE JOHNSON

Flying Geese can be used in so many ways on your quilts, bags and other wearable items. Join Janice Johnson as she shows you four ways to make them. Janice will address the differences between the methods and when you might want to use each one, including: fabric waste, accuracy, flexibility for fabric placement and suitability for directional fabrics.

You will sew flying geese using the “Traditional” method, “Fast” method, a modification of the Fast method for improved accuracy, and the "Eleanor Burns" method. Janice will show several rulers that help make trimming your flying geese blocks easier and how to trim the geese using your standard 6”x12” ruler. Time permitting, she will also demonstrate making geese using foundation paper piecing.

Class time includes a half hour break for lunch at noon.
