Patti D. Pumpkin Collage "Wild Harvest" Part 2
Schedule
Saturday, Aug 8, 2026
10:00 AM – 4:00 PMThis class focuses on fabric collage and raw-edge appliqué to build a vibrant, dimensional autumn piece. Instead of traditional piecing, you'll learn to layer textures and prints to create rich shading and realistic contours.
Key Techniques Covered:
- Value Blending: Layering warm pinks, corals, and oranges to give the pumpkin shape, highlights, and depth.
- Fussy Cutting: Isolating detailed motifs—like the delicate moths, snails, and whimsical mushrooms—to build a storytelling forest floor.
- Organic Framing: Handling fine curves and organic shapes to piece together the winding branches and creeping vines that frame the design.
Whether finished as a striking statement pillow or a quilted wall hanging, this project is a beautiful way to master artistic fabric layering!
