 "Scraptacular" Quilts From Popcorn Cans 

1 or 2 hours                                                            

For years I have stored my leftover scraps of fabric in popcorn cans. 
The cans look pretty and keep the fabric dust free, wrinkle free and safe from sunlight but….it’s time for these carefully stored fabrics to become quilts (before the house falls down from the weight). Come and watch as beautiful quilts, some classic, some modern emerge from the “Popcorn Cans”!
Pattern hand out available in hard copy or by E mail

“Still More Quilts From Popcorn Cans”

Fun With Fat ¼’s    

1 or 2 hours

Fat ¼’s are fun to collect, trade and give as gifts.
They can be purchased in pretty matching bundles or as individual little treats. 
Let’s explore some great ways to use your stash of fat ¼’s. Placemats, pillows, table runners and of course quilts are just some of the fun things we can do with fat ¼”s. 
                                   

An Afternoon (Evening) At The Improv (Quilt)    

NEW 1 to 2 Hour interactive demo
Improvisational patchwork, also known as free piecing is a method of patchwork that consists of sewing pieces of fabric together without the use of precise measurements.
The resulting quilts can have a fresh “Modern” appearance even though this is a time honored method of patchwork.
This interactive demonstration will underscore the fun side of what is often called “Improv” piecing as those in attendance are invited to interrupt my demo by piecing a few sections, stealing my fabric, changing my color scheme and even chopping up what I have already pieced.
The resulting quilt (or portion of) will be fabulous.
Oh the fun we will have. 
Laughter guaranteed!

1 or 2 hours                                     

Free motion quilting with a ruler foot and specialty rulers enables quilters of all skill levels to quilt smooth even curves, straight lines and even circles with little or no marking and minimal experience. 
This demo will address how this fascinating new technique works and what tools are required.
