Today, I gladly share with you the new watercolor quilting online courses by Ashley Nickels and Creativebug as a fun and colorful way to introduce yourself to free-motion quilting. As a lover and a practicer of art journaling, I know from my experience that combine two (or more) different arts and techniques could create amazing results. By painting your own design on the fabric, you create a “coloring book” in which to practice and play. Inspired by the loose style of watercolor painting, Ashley Nickels shares her original technique for painting on fabric with fabric dye and then outlining the brush strokes with contrasting stitches. This meditative technique allows you the freedom to follow the pre-painted design, or create new patterns and shapes as you go.
