Join Melinda Bula May 18th-20th, 2012 for a fun and creative retreat.

Melinda Bula, award-winning quilter, creates Fabulous Fusible Flowers using thread and fabric.  Using her poppy pattern, she will teach you  how to design and achieve depth and reality in your quilt.   You will learn how to use fabric and thread, as an artist uses paint and pencil, to create a beautiful art quilt using only fabric, thread and fusing.  You will look through the eyes of an artist as you learn their techniques for color, layout and design while developing your own creative style.  Next, you will learn how to finish your flower using Melinda’s technique, Renegade Thread Play, which is a simple method of free motion quilting.  Come to Our House in Milford and  spend 2 fun filled days creating your fabulous fusible flower quilt.

Visit Melinda’s gallery to admire her beautiful quilts.  To see them in person, is jaw dropping!  We have had retreaters who have taken Melinda’s workshop and have walked out with masterpieces. Email us or call 469-392-1208 to get on the “I’m Interested” List. 

Melinda will also be teaching a class in Houston at the International Quilt Festival this October.  Look for Melinda and her beautiful quilts at festival this October!
