November 17, 2025 Workshop:
Workshop: Wendy Read Just as many young children have through the generations, Wendy Read became comfortable with the fiber arts at an early age, from playing with her mother’s button basket and the fabric scraps that fell on the floor as her mother sat and sewed, to making many of her own clothes as a teenager. As an adult drawn to the arts, she naturally experimented with the media she was most familiar with, incorporating exotic and interesting fibers and materials, paints and dyes to create her art. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, she had the fortune of having the influence of several professional and amateur artists in her family, as well as year-round access to nature. Her work has been displayed in numerous exhibits and private showings, and has won many awards throughout the country. While she uses many fiber art techniques, there is usually extensive thread-painting in her work, where the thread becomes her paint, the sewing machine her paintbrush. Workshop: Participants will make several examples of Seminole Patchwork designs that can be made into a small quilt or table runner. NOte: A sample picture on the left Class supply: 1. Sewing machine 2. Thread - to match fabrics, or in neutral color to blend 3. Thread scissors 4. Fabric scissors 5. Rotary cutter, cutting mat and ruler 6. Straight pins 7. Fabric marker with disappearing ink 8. Fat Quarters four to eight different fabrics, in lights, mediums and darks, small print or solids. Large prints do not work well with this technique, but can be used for connecting strips between Seminole patchwork strips. Evening: Wendy Read’s Quilting Journey & Trunk Show |
