Other Classes available (organise a group, your place or mine, and call me about available dates, numbers etc)

  • Swatch Scraps is a class just made for using up your collection of 5-inch swatches. There are over 15 patterns with variations available including Ooey Gooey Hearts and a simple 9-patch.
  • Pot Luck Quilts This class uses the smaller scraps (don’t toss ‘em, make a quilt) and covers string piecing, foundation piecing and simple template-making.
  • Bordering on the Comical utilises a scrappy centre and adds an animal friend in the border to make an individual quilt for that special child while
  • The Occasional Whimsy gives you a poster-size wallhanging to celebrate the occasion - Easter, Christmas, birthdays etc.
  • Traditions Made Easy Maybe this class should be re-titled ‘it doesn’t matter’. When you learn the simple methods you can tackle anything and this sampler is a great place to start.
  • Fat-Quarter Mystery is just that - a mystery and a fun way to learn new techniques that can be applied to almost any quilt-making venture. Just take eight fat-quarters and ... go for it!
  • Faces and Flowers a side trip into the art quilt. Applique or Appliquilt - you choose. Challenge the artist in you on a portrait or still life. Picasso got away with it, you can too.
