Unique collage classes featuring a professional quilter will be offered Aug. 19 and 20 at First Lutheran Church in International Falls.
Dee Dee Menge, of Halstad, will lead participants in a workshop called “All About Animals,” from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The workshop is brought to the community by Val Sjoblom’s Studio 53 Fabric and Gifts, International Falls. Sjoblom is also organizing a trunk show at 6 p.m. Aug. 19.
Sjoblom said Menge has been quilting for more than 15 years and is intrigued by color and what designers do with it in creating fabric and new patterns and techniques.
“There are always new ways to do old things and Dee Dee likes trying these new ways so she can teach others the techniques that she loves so much,” said Sjoblom in a news release.
Menge quilts under the motto: “If I can do it anyone can, and I can teach you to do it, too,” said Sjoblom.
Menge works at Faye’s Henhouse Quilt Shop in Mayville, N.D. She is also a long-arm quilter. Her collage pieces can be viewed on her Facebook page called “The Quilting Asylum.”
Call Sjoblom at 285-9962 to register. Class sizes are limited. No sewing machine needed.
