     Quiltangles - with Hope Bell 

     Zoom Workshop - Two Parts


    You've heard of Quilting and you've heard of Zentangles, but what is Quiltangles!!?  It's a combination of quilting and zentangling, the result is a zentangle-like quilt embellished with appliqué, markers,and paint.

    We will learn the technique and the possible variations, and then develop our own piece.  In the week between classes, we can work on our projects, then bring questions or comments to the group at the next meeting
