Student Work

Here are two classes I have taught locally this fall. 

The first is Southern Super Star, a great project with a book from Calico Carriage by Debbie Maddy called Southern Star. This is my go-to giveaway quilt because it is easy, quick, doesn't use a lot of any one fabric except the background and can be simply quilted with not much time or cost. I have made and given away 8 of these. The sample quilt is mine to keep.

The class was offered at Sweet Home Quilting. My class sample:

The students decide how they want to make the half square triangles--with squares OR using a Half Square Triangle Ruler, my preferred method. In this class of 4, two did the first method, two used the ruler.

The pacing is set so that they make one of the four center sections in the morning and one of the diamond point top sections in the afternoon. With both of those complete, they can easily make three more of each section at home to complete the top.

Laura--this will be King-Size--the easiest King size quilt ever

Each student did great and each was excited to go home and finish. I encourage students to email me a photo when done. And every student who takes a class from me gets lifetime free advice by email for any quilt-related issue they ever have.

I have taught beginning quilters for almost 35 years. Here is the latest class from this Fall at Patches & Stitches

Latham brought this to share

I enjoy teaching locally and hope to continue that. There will be different beginning classes at all three local shops. And a Next-Level class at each shop for those students who are eager to continue with me on their journey to learn more as a quiltmaker. This is the time of year I am busy making new samples, revising current successful classes and working on upcoming Lectures/Workshops for organizations away from home.

Stay tuned for the Winter 2022 Schedule of  my local offerings.
