I love teaching about quilts. All workshops are based on projects, but I cover a LOT of tips, tricks and sewing techniques during the workshop time. Both 3 hour and 6 hour classes are available.
- The Modern Vortex Quilt - Using strips in two colors and a common Dresden Plate template, you can make your version of this historic quilt. Click link for details. (Either 3 or 6 hour class)

- Patty's Summer Parasol: This vintage pattern from the 1930s is really a double wedding ring variation. Click the link and see the various parts. (Either 3 or 6 hour class)
- Big Block Hexagons - This is a great way to stitch through those stacks of 10" squares (Layer Cakes). Or pre-cut strips! Works well in a 3 hour class.
- Gretchen - No templates. Just two sizes of triangles. Click the link to read more about this EASY quilt with so many color possibilities. Works very well for a 3 hour class.

Gretchen: 58" x 58". 9" blocks |
- Bubbles and Hexagons - This is a great scrap buster. You can use Jelly Roll strips (2-1/2") or even Layer Cakes (10" squares). Click the link to see several samples. NO y-seams! Works well for a 3 hour class.

- Half Hexagon Braid - I first created this quilt in 1998. I decided to bring it back as a workshop in 2011 and have taught it dozens of time. Check out the other samples by clicking that link. This works well in a 3 hour time frame.

- One Day Lone Star - Quick rotary cut diamonds. Easy side setting triangles and squares either using set in seams or not - your choice! See 2 other quilts by clicking that link. All day class. (can be split over 2 days)
- Buzz Saw - A Dresden Plate variation using my own custom designed super-sized, multi-sized ruler. Easy to cut and stitch and then appliquéd to the background for a very modern looking quilt. Click that link to see several quilts done as variations, too! Best in 4 or 6 hour class. (can be split over 2 days)
- Double Hexie Star - Big blocks with large hexagon centers that are perfect for special motifs! One is a table topper. More become quilts. Check out the other samples! (Either 3 or 6 hour class)
- New York Beauty - Not for the timid, but certainly doable for the motivated. Composed of 3 different blocks, the traditional New York Beauty's sharp points are possible with paper piecing. Beautiful quilting by Jane Hauprich! All day class (can be split over 2 days).
- Pyramids and Jewels - Two quilts for the price of one. We make Thousand Pyramids in the morning session using a Charm Pack (5" squares) and a background fabric. The afternoon class is the Fractured Jewels quilt using the LEFTOVERS from cutting the Thousand Pyramids. Click the link to see samples. All day class (can be split over 2 days)
