Rent table space for the Fabric Faire and Makers Market to sell quilting fabric and notions or hand-made items. This is an opportunity to reduce your stash and find a new home for your extra sewing items or sell your hand made items. Your 3 ft by 6 ft table will be set up in front of the Cherrywood Center. This is an outside event. There is a plan to move inside if there is rain. You will be responsible for your own set-up, break down, tending your table, and sales. Set up begins at 8:00 am and break down is from 3:00 to 4:00 pm.

Leo Ransom is a public speaker, teacher and quilter that has been sewing since 1998. He found art quilting in 2011. Leo's signature is portrait quilting using two styles, silhouette and a 2-fabric process that uses layers of fabric to create even more detailed pieces. Leo loves sharing his knowledge and encouraging quilters to try something new. He will present to the Austin Modern Quilt Guild his lecture, "Wow! That's Just Two Fabrics" and a trunk show with his two fabric quilts.
In this class you will learn about the process of pattern making and color selection for Portrait quilts. This class involves applying layers on top of layers to create a portrait. You will learn the cutting process to create a portrait and to position your fabric layers. This workshop will be taught by Leo Ransom of Lion's Den Quilting.
Update 3/24/25, class supply list from the instructor:
*5-7 gradated fabrics from light to dark *1 1/2 yards of Heat N Bond Lite, Wonder Under or double-sided fusible of your choice (Please, no Steam-A-Seam 2 Lite. This fusible will make your project thick and difficult to quilt because of the layers.) *Small Pointed Tip Scissors (I use Kai 5100 series with a curved tip) *Fine Point Sharpie or Ink Pen *Straight Pins (without the plastic balls or tips) *Small Foam Core Board (that will accommodate an 11"x17" project) Pattern provided by the instructor
Bring some hand sewing, crochet, knitting, or needlework and sip and sew with friends!
