What are Illoominations?
"Il-loom-inations" are member-led activities which may or may not have a fee. If there is a fee, it will be a materials fee to defray costs to the leader for materials purchased. The member leading the activity is a facilitator and not an instructor and receives no payment. If you wish to participate in an Illoominations session it will require a pre-registration so that the facilitator can plan for materials needed. And since Illoominations will involve some discussion and sharing, you will be expected to be respectful of the start times and arrive on time for the session.
"If you have something you would like to share as a scheduled Illoomination please contact Debbie Suchoff at debbiesuchoff@yahoo.com"

Durham-based company Spoonflower custom prints fabric, wall paper and wrapping paper based on designs you create and upload to their website. It is a delightful way to convert your ideas to printed materials for all sorts of clothing and home decorating projects. Jean and Sandy have used Spoonflower fabrics to create family lounge pants, custom company-logo corn hole bean bags, wedding napkins, and crib sheets for a new baby (with a colorful design by a big brother!). You can also choose from a huge selection of designs created and made public by others – or make your design public and receive a commission if others purchase it.
This class will provide an introduction to the Spoonflower process. We will have fabric and wrapping paper samples available to give you an idea of the variety of materials available and the products you can create. We will also go through short tutorials on creating designs with smooth repeats and uploading your designs to the Spoonflower website. Join us for a fun afternoon that will leave you ready to jump in on your own and bring your ideas to life. To sign up online for this Illoomination, click here |

This Iloomination will cover how to turn photos or drawings into art quilts using a fabric collage technique. Participants will learn how to prepare a design from a photo or drawing (representational or abstract) and how to create an interpretation of that design from fabric. We will use the fabric collage technique that Barbara Yates Beasley uses to make her amazing animal portraits (https://barbarayatesbeasley.com). This technique is simple to learn, versatile, and relatively quick. There will not be time to complete the project during the class, but participants will be able to easily finish assembling their projects at home. We will not cover surface stitching or quilt finishing in this class.
Kathi Beratan has made several photo-based dog portraits out of colorful quilting cotton fabric using a couple of different methods. She saw some of Beasley’s work last year and got inspired! She was able to take a lesson from Beasley and used her technique in her most recent dog portrait. Kathi loves the method and is happy to have this chance to share what she learned with others. Participants should bring the following:
If you have any questions, please contact Kathi Beratan at kkberatan@gmail.com Online registration will at noon on 2/25/19 |

Are you ever sitting on the phone, doodling with pencil and paper? And then have a page of circles, or Xs, or boxes? Maria and Rick Roberts developed a structured form of doodling several years ago that they named Zentangle. It is both very meditative as well as taking those boxes and circles to a more artistic level. If you would like to learn more about this, please come to this illoomination and we will play with pencils, pens, and paper, You will leave with a lovely tile.
Louise has been a member of Triangle Weaver's for about 10 years and loves various forms of textiles, as well as different art forms. She has been working with Zentangles for about 5 years and loves the meditative and structured forms. Plus, there are NO mistakes! Go to go to Zentangle.com to check it out.
