Slow Stitching with Matisse
Quilting Workshop
“SLOW STITCHING WITH HENRI MATISSE”
Sue Spargo and Tonye Phillips
Explore the graphic images of Matisse’s colorful cutouts in a contemporary or folk art form. Using high quality felted wool in bright solid colors along with textural stitching immerse yourself in the world of Henri Matisse. Sue and Tonye will share their spin on the multiple possibilities that these shapes present.
It is a pleasure to welcome back my friends Sue Spargo and Tonye Phillips in a collaborative teaching environment combining Sue’s wonderful stitching and design skills and Tonye hand applique and hand quilting talents to teach together again and give you a wonderful experience. They are a great team.
Both ladies are published authors and have taught in many different environments and locations. Sue is a world traveler and spends over 2/3 of her year traveling around the world teaching to folks from many different backgrounds. Tonye was the featured artist at the Quilters Affair this year in Sister’s Oregon and she also makes her home in Camp Sherman, which is very close to Sisters where the Quilters Affair show is held. Sue is from Ohio, via South Africa, England, and several US cites prior to settling down in Ohio. Sue runs her company with her children as her right hand support and produces probably one of the largest BOMs, in terms of participants, of any in existence. They are a great treat and I always look forward to the next year… I have been subscribing for the last 6 years. Sue offers wonderful hand dyed fabrics and has her own line of wonderful threads to work with. You may also go to www.suespargo.blogspot.com to check out Sue’s Blog. Please check out their websites to see some of the wonderful work they do.
