How can a quilt that looks so complex be so simple? It is how I rock the block with a simple process that leads to unavoidable originality. You can’t help it.

ROCK THE BLOCK, Block Style

In this class we will make a fractured landscape from a series of unique blocks, all created with my simple step-by-step process. Making these blocks is simple enough for anyone, but as challenging as you want to make it. All fun, all day.

Creative Design

CREATIVE DESIGN WORKSHOP

In this one, two or three day workshop I will demonstrate and teach how to develop a small idea into an abstract quilt. Along the way I will teach the techniques I use for freehand piecing, working with bias tape,  and creating memorable compositions. Under my instructions, students will develop their own designs and get them to a point where they can be completed.
