So I arranged to convey the half-dozen human foot ART Quilter frame, Table as well as JUKI TL98 P to the school' sec yr 12 ART Class for the day. 


We started alongside to a greater extent than or less Klimt swirls, start out on paper 


as well as hence on the frame. We tried a diversity of repeated patterns from nature too.


 Then nosotros moved on to Kandinsky circles.


 The students cutting out concentric circles inwards fleece as well as fabric


 which nosotros raw edge appliquéd directly onto the dark background cloth on the frame.


 It was a modest class hence each pupil could blueprint and appliqué their ain circle.


I liked how each i was hence different. The students enjoyed choosing the dissimilar cloth as well as threads.


At the halt of the session, nosotros took the exercise spell off the Art Quilter frame as well as each pupil received a spell of the day's thread play to position inwards their fine art books.


It was fun to run into students who were non familiar alongside sewing machines or quilting frames hold out able to blueprint as well as consummate a projection all inwards i day!
