We had a very pleasant time playing with Pattern #1, and so the Little Shop of Stiches has agreed to sponsor this second class. In October we will follow up with a class to build the final two patterns #3 and #4.

If you did not take the first class, no problem. Bring your pattern and pick out your fabrics. We will create together. 

This pattern is large and lovely. I was amazed at how much I feel in love with my first basket. Now I can hardly wait to make the others.

This die is awesome for learning how to cut and sew curves. If you've not done that before, then this class is for you.

Curves can feel easy because Accuquilt has created notches on the cut pieces to match up as you sew. And the fun you can have with color is phenomenal. 

Stand back and squint at the sample above. The secondary circular pattern that is created is awesome. Just like interlocking rings, you can understand why this could be an alternate wedding quilt pattern. 

I do hope you'll come play with your flowering snowball die. Let me inspire you and motivate you to be creative. Click here to register for class Monday, September 15th, 2-5 p.m. Eastern time.

For a long time, I've wondered if we could do occasional back-to-back classes. So, with this class, we will experiment. 

Using the 8" Snails Trail die and the 8" Qube with it's 8" Mix and Match Angles, we can create a quilt that is lovely. Break up the rolling waves in the Snails Trail and insert delightful diamonds.

This is a fun class to make a small quilt sample like mine, or perhaps, make a larger quilt. We will concentrate on the Snails Trail during Sunday's class, and then add the diamonds on Monday. 

This design calms the seas and let's the light shine through those demanding waves that small snails seem to create.

It seems appropriate to learn about the schoolhouse die in September as the kids return to school. Of course, many school systems fired up in August. We can kick off our own learning goals this time of the year too. It is an exciting year of new discoveries. 

Many have had this schoolhouse die for quite some time. I know. It sits on the shelf waiting for you to remove the cellophane and play. Perhaps you tried with little success. In this class, tips and tricks for constructing these schoolhouses will perhaps make things much easier. Let me inspire you!

Many exclaim, “I am terrible at choosing fabrics for my quilts.” So, let’s do a class and talk about that. I'm all in. Are you? 

Allow me to give you tips and tricks for selecting fabrics. Talk values, shades, tints, dark, medium and light with me. Get into a helpful mindset for choosing just what you need next time around. 

Remove the stress. Playing with fabric can be fun. I'll even give resources that are helpful for choosing color combos. 

Interested. There are upcoming classes, one in August and if that date isn't good for you, there's one in October. Click here to register.

The beauty of quilting is the multitude of styles, approaches, perspectives, techniques, and art. Add in the wide variety of quilters 'out there' with their personal interests and anything is possible. 

I am a teacher who listens. Your input is always welcome. I love the ideas you bring to the table. So, give me the kernel of a class and let me mull it over. We'll brainstorm and be creative. 

Do you have a class wish list? Do you have ideas I should know about? By clicking here, share your wishes. I'm all ears.

For those wanting clever borders, I am offering a variety of ideas, options, and pattern designs for the outside framing of those lovely quilts you are creating. 

We will talk about how to assess a quilt. Does it need a border or not? Will a border enhance the quilt or be too busy? How do we decide on fabrics to use for our border? 

There's so much more to consider about borders than simply building them. And when we build them, they can be fun, especially on those kids quilts that need some pizazz. 

I do hope you'll opt into this class. I'm in the process of building it. If you have ideas, let me know. Meanwhile, save a space here or click on the photo above.
