WORKSHOPS & GUILD PROGRAMS

COUCHED STAINED GLASS WORKSHOP - This is a technique learned from Deb Cavanaugh of Spring Green WI and taught with her permission. Yarn is used rather than bias tape to create the stained glass leading and allows tighter curves than the fusible bias and gives the look of true stained glass. Any pattern designed for the bias technique can be used as well as patterns designed for actual stained glass. Using yarn for the leading is a fun and amazingly fast technique to give a truly different look; quilting of the piece can be done before or after the yarn is added and in some cases the yarn is all the quilting that is needed.

BORDERS WORKSHOP - In development, available 2009

STAINED GLASS QUILT TECHNIQUES -
This program will cover a variety of quilting techniques including quick bias, paper piecing, reverse applique, and the too easy method from Patchwork Studio patterns. Samples of the various techniques will be shown as well as a number of suggested books and/or patterns for your investigation. You can obtain the beauty of stained glass in anything from a table runner to wall hanging to full size bed quilt.

TRUNK SHOW -
This program includes many of the techniques which I have used over the years for both quilts and wearable pieces. Traditional piecing, paper piecing, stained glass, photos in memory quilts, printed fabrics from photographs and other items used in quilts and silk scarves are among the pieces which will be shown.
