Lazy Landscape.
This workshop
gives students a practical introduction to the art quilt based on my
easy landscape method. Students are exposed to a number of techniques
including fusible raw-edge appliqué, machine quilting and free motion
embroidery. This workshop is offered as either a 1 day abbreviated
or full 2 day class.
Supply List
Transparency
for Quilters. This 2-day workshop is about using value,
lightness and darkness to supply a light source to your quilts. I
will teach you how to give depth and dimension in your quilts and
artwork.
Supply List
Praise
Quilts. This workshop teaches
three techniques that can be used to create art quilts for your
place of worship. It combines elements of the Lazy Landscape for a
beautiful background, raw-edge appliqué and thread painting for
lettering.
Supply List
Thread
Paint Lettering. Do you like
words on your quilts? This 3 hour
workshop teaches quilters how to apply lettering
to quilts entirely with thread.
The results are stunning. The letters are lacey and transparent
creating a rich texture. The lettering can be the focus of the quilt or an
added embellishment for
inspiration.

Puzzle
Quilt. Need a special gift for a beloved child? In this 3 hour
workshop you will create a fun quilt puzzle. The puzzle pieces are attached
to a felt backing and can be pulled off and rearranged to solve.
This is a great way to use those extra blocks you have in your
stash.

Whacky Portrait. This 6 hour
workshop is loads of fun. The project is constructed with fusible and
thus goes fast in the workshop setting. It's a
great project for all those whimsical black, whites and brights you have
been collecting.

these workshops at your guild, please contact me
