Mock Mola Workshop Description

Have you looked at the beautiful Molas from Panama and gone green with envy ?  I have!  I love the look of Traditional Molas, with all the layers of colored fabrics and fancy stitches !

I thought that I would make one myself, but then really turned green when I realized how much detail work and teeny tiny stitches were involved !

So, I created this class to modify the Traditional Mola by using Felt to make a project that keeps the style and colors of the original, but is so much easier and faster!

This is a hand work class, but it is easy and relaxing to do.

I hope you enjoy these Molas as much as I do!

About Alice

This is me hanging out with the monkeys in Gibralter!!

I learned how to sew and embroider by hand when I was in second grade, taught by my grandmother and my great aunt. I got my first sewing machine when I was in 5 th grade and have been sewing ever since.

I have been quilting on and off for over 40 years. I have been a Traveling Quilt Teacher and Speaker for about fifteen years. Just about all quilting styles appeal to me. Handwork and machine, traditional to art quilts. I love to try new techniques and ‘tweak’ old ones to make them new and fresh! I have a small rigid heddle loom to weave my own fabric to incorporate into some of my art quilts. I love playing with the different textures that you can get from different fibers! I also crochet and knit, and am learning how to tat lace. Never a dull moment!

Personal info:

I am married to a career Army man ( he finally retired after 35 yrs Active Duty !!) and have traveled all over the world. We have lived on 3 continents….we moved 22 times in 35 years. We bought our “forever” house and I don’t intend to ever move again!! I have 3 children - 2 daughters and 1 son. The girls are in Indiana, my son is in the Army and his location changes as often as ours did! Such is life in the military! I have 4 grandchildren - 2 girls and 2 boys, all of them in Indiana.

Thanks for Sharing in my Quilting Adventures!!
