The Piecemakers Quilt Guild of Brandon will be hosting Debbie Jones for three upcoming events. Debbie has received several awards, been published many times and has exhibited in numerous art shows and exhibits. She has also tought in Houston and Chicago at the International Quilt Festival - just to name a few. She is from Venice Fl. and will be showing us two of her specialized techniques.
This is a time for you to explore your creative side with one of Debbie’s Classes.
“Fabric Seascape Decollage (April 12, 2008)
Her Fabric Decollage technique is a cross between collage and decoupage. Designs are created by bonding many pieces together in layers using fusibles. No stitching is required, although “thread-painting” or quilting can be added, optionally. She chooses from lots of commercial fabrics, along with airbrushed, batiked, marbled and hand-painted pieces that she has made or collected over the years. Mostly, she uses cotton fabrics, but also adds silks, rayons, ultra suede, metallics and other synthetics. After completing and mounting the result is two-dimensional artwork that resembles a “fabric painting”!
Rubber Stamping on Fabric…and much more (May 24, 2008) This class will show you that you can use the stamps you have in your stash and maybe some of the stamp pads you already have. There will be a variety of techniques demonstrated with a chance to be hands on with all of them.

If you were unable to attend a class, hopefully you were able to hear her lecture and view her Trunk show of fabulous art at our monthly meeting.
You may go to her web site at: www.debbiejones.com and see some of her spectacular works of art and gather more inspiration.
