 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. This class
is being taught at the Quilt
Patch. September 29, 2009.
Supply List
  Graceful Trees. This half-day workshop
teaches an easy technique, for quilters of
all levels, to create a beautiful and
graceful tree. Wonderful trees emerge in this layering,
build-as-you-go, approach. Backgrounds of different colors lend
themselves to creating landscapes of the seasons.
Laptop Covers.
In
this half-day workshop you will create a beautiful fabric cover to
keep your laptop dust and scratch free. Adjusts for all laptop
sizes. It’s a great gift. The pattern is based on the scrumptious
Hoffman Bali-Pops. Any pre-cut 2.5" strips, or Jelly Rolls, will
work.

2009.
