Melinda Bula lives in El Dorado Hills, California and has
been sewing since she was a young girl. Melinda has been
in love with fabric all of her life and knew when she was
16 years old that she was going to be an artist, which became
her major in college. Soon she was off to Hawaii as a flight
attendant, a real job that lasted 8 years, and met her husband
during this time in the San Francisco Bay Area. She worked
in the interior design field for 15 years as a fabric and
wallpaper designer. She and her husband, Joe, started their
own wallpaper and fabric design business soon after the
birth of their son, Matthew, in 1988.
Since moving to the Sacramento area in 1996, she has been
involved in quilting and wearable arts, which has always
been her first love. Her sense of color and design has won
her numerous awards for both quilts and wearable arts. Her
wearable arts are dynamic and modern and she loves to experiment
with new techniques.
Her Fabulous Fusible Flowers quilts are unique. With the
wonderful look of a painting, she uses fabric and thread
to create beautifully artistic quilts. She has been lecturing
and teaching, which she really loves. Creating and designing
is an obsession with Melinda and whether it is fabric, wallpaper
or quilts, it is her passion.

Thursday,
July 2 Workshop
"Fabulous
Fused Flowers - Coneflower"
Learn the basic
for building a Fusible Flower quilt.
The class works from the same flower pattern. You will learn
the steps of developing a flower art quilt by how color
works to make a flower look real, how to use the fusible
and lay out of design. I encourage creativity while assisting
those who may feel timid about color and design. All skill
levels can master these flowers and make them their own.
The students in class will get 80% of their flower done
in class. Renegade Thread Play is covered and demonstrated
in class. $15 class fee for supplies and pattern.
