I just taught two classes in Tavares, FL, and we all had a blast! It didn’t take me long to figure out that this group was a little different from most. In the first class one of the students had just had major dental work. So, she was wearing a proper name tag, but also…
I love to teach about art quilting and I consider my niche market to be traditional quilters who want some guidance as they move into art quilting. When I mentioned this on The Quilt Show, Alex Anderson was intrigued and we talked more about it on an episode of her podcast. Video link. (A thirty…
I recently taught Double Reverse Applique (via Zoom) for a guild in Concord, MA. As usual, the students had awesome results. Just take a look. They really did a great job! Here are some more great student pieces that I’ve been remiss in showing you: Susan Newsom’s project from Floral Improv She did a great…
I’ve been BUSY getting a new online class ready to go. It’s called Sticky Fingers and it’s a glued collage technique. This is the class sample: I really love it. For the purposes of the course I needed to make another one, so I could record it. And I chose pastel colors. VERY unusual for…
Floral Improv is such a fun class. The students learn a lot AND accomplish a lot in a relaxed atmosphere. The gals in Arizona had just such an experience, and made some fantastic quilts! (I only got photos of a few.) Victoria’s dark background really created a lot of contrast and drama! Cindy reversed the…
Here are a few more apples from the Double Reverse Applique class I recently taught for a guild in Oakland county, MI. Gail’s machine died mid-class. How frustrating! As you can see she got all the way to the very last piece, (the blue background for the bottom.) Gail was excited about the technique, however,…
In a recent Double Reverse Applique class, the students finished their apples in about four hours and had plenty of time to start on their pears. Aren’t they looking great? I love seeing the different colorways. Each on is unique. These ladies really stayed on task quite well, and it shows in…
These ladies, in Oakland county, Michigan, did a great job in a recent “Double Reverse Applique” class. Check out their awesome apples. Cathy As you can see, most students made red apples, which was consistent with the class sample. Very striking, right? Can you believe that most of these gals finished their…
These ladies got a lot done in our 3-hour “Love It and Leaf It” Class! Carol chose a lovely medium-scale printed fabric for the background. It was the first time I’d had a student make such a choice, but it worked beautifully. (Can you tell she’s happy with it?) Janet chose mostly solid fabrics, which…
Well, after two years, I finally got to teach an in-person class recently. I taught the class “Love It and Leaf It” to a welcoming group in Avon Park, FL. Of course, we had fun! Rose did a great job on her quilt. Don’t the veins make it pop? Lorri had a beautiful piece of…
