We are once again thrilled to announce the facility for our 2009 Summer Seminar will be at Techy Towers in Northbrook.

The Star Book is a well known book structure and it has many reiterations. The book I’m teaching is a combination of many approaches. I love it because it is so versatile, and it is easy to make but looks spectacular. You can make theme oriented books, books that are scrapbooks, books for centerpieces, books to hang, pop up books, tunnel books, you get the idea.

Using airy, translucent silks, students create dazzling layered effects as they assemble collaged quiltsurfaces and learn the tricks of fusing Wonder Under with organzas and other sheer fabrics. Both a process and product class, students experiment with design tools developing composition skills and further strengthen work with machine quilting on Day 3.
