About the Workshop from Cindy:
Use a work or art as inspiration for an abstract quilt design. It can be a painting you admire, a photograph, a graphic design, or anything else you find inspiring. We will be using the source as inspiration only for color and shape—not representing the work itself. Through lectures, demos, and individual discussions we will study our inspirations and how to translate them into fabric. Because we start with different inspiration pieces, all the work will be different. My examples include work inspired by the painter Paul Klee, a photograph of flowers, and a graphic clothing design.
