Workshops
The workshops listed below are available. Each is designed to provide opportunities to learn new techniques or new ways with old techniques, and to experiment. This all leading into amazing new creations.
All of these classes can be combined to create multiple-day workshops and seminars so that, for example, we can start by learning about the importance of Value and Color in Quilts and then, using this information spend the next day(s) creating one of the offered quilts, such as one of the Dancing Swans.
Applique classes can be expanded from one to multiple days as well.
In a 1-day class, participants will learn the basics for creating a quilt top using the chosen process (Turned edge, Raw edge, Free edge applique or Take-Away applique). In a multiple-Day class the participants will continue working on the quilt top. This includes stitching the top, quilting and completing it into a finished wall hanging.
