next baby quilt you need. The little 'tags' are full of softness, nubby
dots and silky textures that can keep a little one happy for a long
time. It's also a perfect size to drag around with them day and night!

Beginner’s
 Picture Perfect-Even
though it looks hard, this quilt uses Jelly Rolls (sets of 2 1/2"
strips). You get enough blocks to make a bonus tablerunner.
Sample is done in bright colors, but would also look great in
Christmas colors or a softer palate. A nice young ladies quilt.

Trees--offered previously as a large quilt, this small
wallhanging will give you the techniques you need to know to make
the 3D trees. We will make the small trees, but by learning
the technique, you can easily make the large trees and any size
quilt you would like. Everyone who has done this has not been able
to stop with one! Learn now and then you'll have all summer to make
your quilts for Christmas!

 English Paper Piecing-
not to be confused with Paper Piecing, this does use paper, but is
done by hand. We'll make the Grandmother Flower Garden block (as
shown), but the same techniques are used for various shapes as well.
A perfect take along project! I'll share ideas on how to use these
blocks.

 Poppy Baskets-

Bias Handles (can also use this technique for bias stems as well)
for basket blocks. A few tricks on how to make them even and
perfect. You will make one block in class, but then you can decide
how big you want your quilt to be, a wallhanging to a bed size
quilt.

 Memory Quilts---LECTURE ONLY-
I will present many ideas of how to go about making a quilt of
memories, whether it's a quilt of a beloved one's clothes, memories
of an event (like a reunion or special birthday) or just a
friendship quilt. I'll share how to get your photos onto the quilt,
how to do your wording to looking for the 'right' design. Because
our memories are so personal, not one quilt will satisfy everybody's
needs. So learn how to come up with your OWN memory quilt.
I'll have several samples of quilts and lots of reference books as a
starting point to jump start your own quilt.

Advanced Beginner’s
 Mitered Corners--I
have had so many requests to teach this technique, but it's hard to
come up with a project that allows you to get that far into class.
Great news! I came up with an idea to use a panel (or some great
large novelty print) for the center, then adding 2-3 borders.
Easily done in class! There are several little tricks to
getting perfect miters and I'll share them all with you. You pick
which one works best for you. The best thing? You should be able to
go home with a quilt top almost completed!

 Paper Piecing--
a MUST know technique for all quilters. The sky is the limit when
you know how to do paper piecing (AKA foundation piecing). I
chose this little floral sampler to show you that small blocks with
precise points do not need to be feared again! If you do not know
how to Paper Piece, now is the time to learn!

 ABC
quilt--LAST CLASS- what an adorable quilt for little ones. Each
letter is comprised of fabric that matches the letter. The hardest
thing is collecting 26 different fabrics. This 'class' is going to
be a 3 part class. The first class will be a meeting of all
interested students. Then we'll divide up the alphabet according to
the amount of students in the class. Then you will be sent on a
'fabric hunt' to find your assigned fabric and you'll buy enough for
everyone in the class. The second class will be the exchanging of
the fabric and directions for your homework. The third class will
not be held until Jan. 2010, giving you plenty of time to get your
homework done.

 Nana's Garden-this
sample was made by a friend who showed this in my last quilt show.
What a striking quilt it is and how simple to make. She used soft
flower colors in mostly purples, but it would easily adapt to your
favorite palate of fabrics as well. A great way to use up stash!

Intermediate quilters
 Courthouse Steps--
this quilt looks SO hard, yet it's really a basic Log Cabin variation.
The TRICK is in the planning and organizing! The most important
thing is you need to sew an accurate 1/4" seam for this class. I'm going
to have a brief overview of the class and will show how to do the
homework in the first class, and the second class will be the actual
sewing. We'll also discuss fabric selections in the first class. Sample
shown is using 9 blocks, a large quilt will use 35.

  Shakespeare in the Park-
(BLOCKS ONLY)an awesome quilt that is floating around the web right now.
I am in the middle of making my own version and lots of students would
like to learn the techniques. It's basically comprised of 2 blocks: the
Snail Trail block and the 8 pointed star block. I'll have two
separate classes in which you can choose which technique you'd like to
learn. Either block in itself make beautiful quilts and I"ll have photos
for you to help make your mind in which one you'd like to do. The actual
SITP quilt is from a Nancy Martin book, which you'd have to buy
separately if you want to make that quilt, although my technique is
different than the one she uses in the book.

Techniques learned: making the dresden plate fan blades with perfect
points, 2 different applique methods, making nice circles, and how to
make it all fit and lay flat! Whew! Some pre-class homework is required.
