I'm teaching three classes at the show, all of which are super reasonably priced for an all-day workshop, and they're going to be a ton of fun! Here's the details on what I'm teaching...
Thursday T04D - Discover the Joy of Paper Piecing, an all-day workshop where we'll be working on foundation paper piecing. I love teaching paper piecing, it’s such a fun thing to do in a group! We'll be making a Lucky Stars mini quilt using four Lucky Stars blocks and talking a lot about tips and tricks for easier paper piecing as well as for plotting out your color and fabric selections for maximum wow...
Friday F04D - Tame the Scraps, an all day scrap workshop where we'll discuss scrap storage solutions, ideas for putting your treasured scraps to work, and work on making a Rainbow Cakes scrap quilt, as featured in my book, Becoming a Confident Quilter
. Rainbow Cakes is a great quilt to make as a quilters’ memory quilt, using bits and pieces of the many quilts you’ve made, all together in one harmonious quilt. This is a really fun quilt that can look quite different, depending on the plan of scrap attack you choose to work with...

Saturday S04D - Cutting with Confidence: The Monterey Square Workshop, where we'll work on the cover quilt from my book, Becoming a Confident Quilter. This quilt is near and dear to my heart for a lot of reasons, the biggest reason being that it's the first quilt I made for that book! In that quilt, I used one of my favorite fabric lines ever, Heirloom by Joel Dewberry. It was a challenge to find the right quilt pattern for that fabric line, as the prints are quite large and difficult to chop up. Monterey Square is perfect for those large scale florals and paisleys and such that have been waiting for the right project. Here's a couple of other alternative ideas for how this quilt can look. I'm totally planning to work on the sorbet low-volume version very soon!
