Recent Online Rulers Classes

On Saturday Nov 26 (for Region of York Quilters Guild) & today Nov 30 ( for Royal City Quilters Guild), I offered on zoom my class  Quilting with Rulers  For Domestic Machines.  This is a pre taped, one day class where I provide guidance, answer questions, trouble shoot etc.  for the entirety of the workshop.  They were fun! I could not believe how creative & innovative these quilters are. Below is a picture of my studio, I sprawl out all of my ruler supplies, notions & quilting samples much like a live class, ready to bring on a total of 28 students! Thanks to all who coordinated and to those  who participated!   Need more info about my classes?  Check them out here .If you have a group or guild who need Free Motion Quilting/or Rulers Classes feel free to contact me here

Thread Painting Anyone?

9/28/2022

l had an awesome full classroom yesterday with "Explore Thread Painting".  This class was held at Creekbank Sewing in Mount Forest. This is a beginner thread painting class where we thread painted an appliquéd sunflower on woodgrain fabric making a gorgeous art quilt.  In this class, I showed participants how to machine appliqué the easy way. Threads, needles and appropriate machine techniques were discussed. This is a beginner thread painting project and after completion of this class students will be able to add thread painted motifs to their own quilted projects or make artistic home decor and expand on this technique. Special Thanks to all who attended the class! You were wonderful! Also as shown below, fabulous work!❤️ I hope to see more of your thread painted work in the future!
Check out some images of participants in action below:

Behive of Activity!

In case any of my followers want to know what's going on behind the scenes when there is radio silence from me. Trust me nothing is ever silent in my world! I believe life is for living & pursuing passions.  Therefore behind the scenes there is always a behive of creative activity!  Just a few minutes ago at 630am I was responding to Bernina Blog  comments.  Last evening I was working on my Bernina Q20 & a customer quilt.  I was also prepping for a Thread Painting Class at Creekbank Sewing this Tuesday and reviewing my new Crumb Pieced Star In a Star Pattern (soon to be available on my website).  So yes radio silence is non existent!
​Some photos of the "Behive" are shown below

55 x 55" Crumb Pieced Star - *NEW CLASS*
After a busy summer, I was finally able to complete my Crumb Pieced Star  in a Star quilt sample for my newest class.  Such a great process to revisit some gorgeous fabric, make new fabric, reuse, recycle, sustainable type scrappy quilting with an organized vision. My kind of scrappy!  It's heavily quilted and quilting suggestions are discussed in this class. If you are interested in a class and have a group of 10 or more people, feel free to get in touch to organize a class with me.  The math is done for a 18 x 18", 27 x 27" or 55 x 55" quilt. Get in touch with me here   & check out my teaching page to see other samples for this class,  scroll down to see photos.  The pattern in now available on my shop page!
Have a great week!
