Natural dyes have been used to enhance fabric from ancient to modern times.
There is a myriad of natural materials all around us that produce beautiful shades of color in natural fabric that will enhance and make your quilting stash unique and your own.
The best part of dyeing your own fabric is the uniqueness of each piece, even from the same dye bath!
There is always a surprise when one dyes with natural materials!
Sign up with Annette Ichiki.
******JANUARY/FEBRUARY – 01/31-02/01/26 – Scrappy Animal Portrait Collage ******
Instructor: Phyllis Cullen from California
Date: Saturday, January 31, and Sunday, February 1, 2026
Time: Saturday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM – Sunday, 9:00 AM to approximately 1:00 PM.
Location: Esplanade condo. 500 Lunalilo Home Rd., Honolulu 96825
Cost: $75 for the entire class, plus $25 kit fee payable to Phyllis the day of the class.
Kit to include a full-size custom pattern, steam a seam, and 60 fabrics.
We’ll use bits and pieces of printed fabrics to “paint” an animal portrait. Choose from one of my many animal or bird designs or from a pattern I create for you from a photo you provide in advance.
We’ll chop up our fabrics, divide them into values, and fill in the value-marked pattern sections with corresponding value pieces of fabric. Add a bit of tulle and some simple quilting, and you will have created your unique masterpiece. If you prefer to finish your piece without sewing, that’s okay too!
No-sew finishing options are also taught. The results are wild, whimsical, and totally believable!
Instruction on the use of Adobe® Photoshop® Elements to create a pattern is included in the course.
No drawing skill needed, but expect to learn about values, contrast, lines, and eyes.
And a new way of looking at fabric!
Waitlist only at this time! For more information, contact Nancy Francis.
