The design concepts are easy to understand and so much fun. You'll see how to build a path through your quilt that feeds the eye and the soul. The lecture focuses on taking geometric forms, translating them to organic shapes and creating nature quilts that live, move and breathe. She will teach a workshop for us on Thursday, June 7 using a 12" square project with most the design decisions made for you gives you the time and space to focus on learning technique and finishing what you’ve started.

Quilt Restorer Wanted
From time to time I get requests to do restoration work on an old quilt. I don't do this, and don't want to learn how. If anyone would like to do restoration work, give me a call.
