Dr. Susan Kruszynski, professional educator and author of two books on art quilting, will share with you tips and techniques she uses to make her one of a kind art quilts.

You will amaze yourself at how easy it is to create a simple art quilt landscape. Touch of Teal uses monochromes of teal and grey and metallic threads to create this beautiful piece of art. The kit contains all materials needed to create this lakeshore scene; directions, fabrics backed with an iron-on adhesive, and a stretched art canvas for hanging. You supply basic sewing tools.  The wooden frame of the fabric-covered stretched art canvas makes the art quilt attractive and super easy to hang or to set on a shelf.

You will love this form of art and find it easier than you thought possible.
