 Ruth B. McDowell
is coming to Stitchin' Heaven!
February 24th - 29th, 2008
The art quilts of Ruth
McDowell represent a sustained and extraordinary development over
time, intertwining the themes of nature, geometry, the piecing
medium and her abiding love of fabrics.
Our Ruth B. McDowell Retreat will be an all inclusive event which
will include 5 days of instruction and lodging in the beautiful
Piney Woods here in East Texas. The retreat will be held at
Brookhaven Christian
Retreat in Hawkins, Texas, only 18 gorgeous miles from Stitchin'
Heaven. Rooms are double occupancy, so if you are registering
with a friend, be sure and let us know so we can put you in a room
together.
Designing From Nature
Ruth will begin the class with an introduction to methods and
techniques she has found successful in her quilts. Then, using the
images the students bring, she will discuss the translation of
images from nature into pieced quilts. Each student will begin their
own pieced design, using subjects and seaming techniques attractive
to them. Individual time with each student will help them find
options and solutions.
