Now Offering Virtual Trunk Shows and Classes!

Candace Hassen's presentation was superb! She presented  to about 30 guild participants using Zoom to show her work.   As an  intermediate level quilter it was fun to learn an easy technique that I  can now turn into a variety of looks! Candace's trunk show was very  engaging as she gave our group plenty of time to see her work and ask  questions.  I am looking forward to turning my scraps and strips into  beautiful quilts!

This is a wonderful class for beginners. it is a beginner sampler that does not scream "I am a beginner sampler!" This quilt uses very simple blocks, such as half  and quarter square triangles  to make a beautiful contemporary design. We will discuss different ways of laying out these blocks and fun ways to make them more unique, with the use of color placement, and stripes or other directional prints. Works best as a 6 hour class.

This class teaches the "Stack-n-Whack" technique, along with alternative ways of using the resulting blocks. We will learn to add other design elements by piecing some of the triangles. Works best as a 6 hour class.

This class involves a horizontal strip piecing method to form diamond motifs. Intermediate. Works best as a 6 hour class.

This is a similar strip piecing technique to the one used to make the Indian Summer quilt,  But in this class it is used as a "flip and sew" technique to make small items quickly that can be used as a charity or personal gift.  This works better as a 6 hour class.

We will use strip piecing to make this beautiful quilt. This class works better as a 6 hour class. 

The Pineapple block is a really good block to teach those that are new to paper piecing, because the seams are parallel and there are less weird angles. We will also discuss working from a drawing, and organizing strategies.

In this class I will show how to change the size of quilt blocks. We will discuss various types of design decisions, including layout, scale, types of fabric, graph paper vs. computer designing, to name just a few. Participants are encouraged to bring projects from home so we can solve their design questions as a group.
