 Learn
to create detailed pictorial images with basic appliqué,
yet never having to stitch a single point! The secret is
my “Over and Under” appliqué technique. My pictorial
quilts are all created this way, as I layer
the appliqué pieces from background to foreground.
Occasionally pieces have to be stitched side-by-side,
and this is when the technique comes into play.
Kit fee: $30 paid to the teacher in the
classroom
Kit includes pattern and fabrics.
Students can choose a pattern of the Penguin,
Hummingbird or Chickadee.
Bring to class:
Pencil and eraser
Paper scissor
Fabric scissor
Scotch tape
Liquid or spray starch
Small nylon artist’s paint brush
Hand-sewing needle: I use John James Gold’n Glide #10
Hand-sewing thread: I use Gutermann 50 wt. cotton
Straight pins for appliqué

Barbara’s Reverse sculpting technique makes it simple that
anyone can sculpt, you don’t have to have any particular
artistic ability! Everything comes back around it seems,
this is where Barbara started out, creating heirloom and
collectible Santa’s and created techniques to enable you
to sculpt one in no time at all.
 This
2 hour class will guide you through the reverse
sculpting techniques that Barbara developed and has
taught all over the country. It makes it a much quicker
way to learn to sculpt and enables you to sculpt a Santa
head in one day using super Sculpey clay (we will bake a
sample head so that you will know what to look for and
what to do with it afterwards).
The class will also focus on the how to’s, such as; how
to attach the head to an armature, how to sew the
clothing using patterns or how to use toddler clothing
and shoes to make your collectable Santa.
Seeing is believing! Barbara will actually build the
Santa in the classroom to show you how easy it is. The
latter part of the class will be a discussion of what
makes a Santa a collectable and what makes him an
heirloom.
This class encourages discussion on what materials can
be used, and bouncing ideas off of the teacher and each
other. Students will receive a hand out of descriptions
and ideas. This is an empowering class... Don’t miss
out!
Bring to class: pencil & note pad.
