MATERIALS LIST FOR COLLAGE CLASS
Laura Fogg, Instructor

Please read this carefully and bring as much stuff as you possibly
can! You will have more fun if you come set up with all the materials
you need.

*a  photo (or several photos) of some subject that pleases you- this
will be your inspiration for your project
*cotton backing  fabric for a  2’ x 3’ (maximum size) quilt- YOU CAN WORK SMALLER IF YOU LIKE
*several  2’ x 3’ pieces of tulle ( the lightweight kind also known as
“illusion”… NOT coarse netting)- bring several different colors so you
can try them out over your collage and choose the one you like best.
Dark colors generally work best, unless you want a foggy or washed-out
look
*a piece of THIN batting that is big enough to fit your quilt (cotton, bamboo or wool)
*lots  of fabric- scraps are fine, but be sure to bring 6 or 8 fabrics
in each color you think you might want to use. Include DARK darks and LIGHT 
lights. Remember... this is a collage and contrast is necessary for images to stand out!
*novelty  fabrics- shiny, transparent, metallic, textured
*embellishments- any kind of threads, strings, ribbons, lace, yarn,
sequins, buttons
*fabric  scissors (rotary cutters are not necessary for this “freehand” style)
*dark chocolate  to share
*lots  of straight pins- the thin, glass-headed ones are best (I mean LOTS… like a whole box full!)
*your  sewing machine and EVERYTHING that goes with it
*a  machine quilting or darning or stippling foot to do freehand
quilting around the curving edges of your design elements
*quilting thread- I like to use the Sulky variegated rayon thread, but
anything will do that blends with your fabric choices, except for
metallic (too hard to use on a first project!)
*bobbin thread that will work with your backing fabric
