Workshops

Following is an abbreviated list of workshops I offer. I'll be adding additional detail shortly. In the meantime, feel free to contact me for additional details.

Blendable Curves Workshops

Do you love the look of traditional quilts but want to make one a little different from all the others? Do you long to step outside the box and create a familiar, yet unique, original? Are you known by your family and friends as a "Traditional Girl", but you secretly yearn to spread your wings and don't know where to start? Well start here! Using "traditional blocks" as the design source and a technique I've developed, you'll be creating quilts that are uniquely your own, through cut, color, and design, but always in what is as familiar as your own backyard. Pick one of the following quilts as your workshop focus... and let's play!

Feeling like "Tradition" has become a bit tame and you're ready to break out, and break all the rules? Let me lead you down the "Blendable Path", creating a soft "artsy" quilt, completely abstract, using a traditional block you've loved for years. Come share the day with me and be brave... you have nothing to lose but a little fabric, and we all have just a "little fabric". Take "A Leap of Faith", and create a one-of-a-kind original!
