Option to create a quilt top to be long-armed OR learn quilt-as-you-go techniques so you may quilt each block on your own machine.

Alerting anyone wanting to attend Accuquilt Club that it is on Thursday, July 10th, 2-4:00 p.m. Eastern time. (Check your time zone) This Club can be a one time visit or I welcome you to attend regularly.

We talk dies, sales, tips and tricks, and then usually there is some topic we address. It is recorded and happily downloadable. There is also a PowerPoint pdf. 

This is a great entry level Zoom class. After the PowerPoint we open our microphones for dialoguing about questions and answers. I demo anything that needs a real time explanation.

Bring your questions and we will answer them. 

Click here to register. You may register for July, August and September on the same page. Consider all three or one at a time.

Learn the difference between applique and embroidery. See how one can enhance the other, and how they can partner up to create stunning designs. 

Applique can easily be managed on our domestic machines, and with good results. Embroidery, however, requires an embroidery sewing machine with hoops that will accommodate the size of your applique shapes. 

This class is a lecture/demo that walks you through the process, and hopefully gets you excited about the ease with which either is accomplished while using the Accuquilt methods. Interested? Click here to register.

Because many missed the winter Log Cabin Die class, it is offered again, this time in August, and on a Monday for those who can't attend later in the week. 

The die isn't hard to use. However, I share a few tips that are helpful, saving you time and figuring. Come for inspiration. Look at where log cabin designs can take you in your imagination. Then, you will be ready to create. 

Class is Monday, August 11th, 2-5:00 p.m. Eastern time. Recorded? Yes the class is recorded and downloadable. You also receive a study guide so always using this die will be easy for you. 

Join me and make the Log Cabin Die one you understand. If you've never used yours, remove the cellophane and play with me. Register by clicking here.

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.

The double wedding ring is a challenge. Yes. And yet many of us want to tackle this die and make a beautiful quilt for someone's wedding gift. 

With the tips and tricks shared in this class, it makes cutting and sewing doable. There is easy access to the help needed as questions arise. I give you guidance and motivation to 'stick with it' over a period of time. 

With alternating weeks in this class, there will be instruction and encouragement across your process. You won't be rushed. Take the time you need and let's manage your beautiful quilt together.

There is just nothing quite as amazing as the Hunter's Star die. The pattern can delight with two colors or many. This class will teach both approaches. 

If you're into the scrappy look, you will get tips and tricks for creating something special. Gradually, as you build the quilt blocks, colors interact with each other, and you will smile. 

Even if you have taken this class before, come play again. I'm ready to dive in with quilt #2. Won't you join me? Make your weekend special. Try out a Sunday class. Click here to register for July good times.

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. Class is July 31st, 2-5:00 p.m. 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.

Learn the possibilities for the Drunkard's Path design. Be inspired. Then too, learn how to work with the shapes on the Drunkard's Path die. It's easier than you think. 

Many have asked to participate in this quilting adventure. Their grandmothers made quilts with this age old design. Now they want to pass along a quilt that is similar.
