NANCY CHONG
CELTIC KNOTWORK APPLIQUÉ
 Learn
how easy it is to do Celtic knotwork appliqué while
making a gorgeous block or tablerunner.
Nancy’s
designs appear to be intricate but are amazingly easy to
sew using her stress-free hand appliqué methods.
You will learn how to make your own bias tape
(without the use of bias bars), how to bend the bias
tape to make crisp corners, and generally learn how much
fun and relaxing this appliqué project is.
All levels of experience welcome, even beginners.

Sharon Pederson “Sensational Sashiko"
Process
class making 5 samples...4 on a quilt sandwich, one on
fabric only
Sensational Sashiko
This is a non-traditional approach to a traditional
needle art form. My
theory is that if it can be done by hand, it can be done
by machine and sashiko is no exception. Originating as
the "common" man's garment decoration, sashiko has been
adopted by quilters to add exciting designs to their
quilt tops and garments. Using your sewing machine and
heavy weight threads learn how to achieve this stunning
embellishment on either a single thickness of fabric or
through a quilt "sandwich".

Piping Hot Curves
Windows class description:
Add piping to
curves and avoid curved piecing! This technique
is wonderful for traditional curved patterns and
great for contemporary designs. In class,
students will learn to make perfect piping and
add that piping to perfect circles for this
sophisticated application of the Piping Hot
Curves technique. Piping adds pizzazz! Quilting
and finishing will be discussed.
SUPPLY LIST |
Piping Hot Binding
Piped bindings add spark and a professional
finish to any style piece. Every detail of
binding and tiny, perfect piping will be covered
in class with step-by-step demos and printed
instructions. Machine differences will be
addressed so students will be successful with
their own machines. Students work on their
practice piece to achieve making perfect piping,
preparing the quilt, applying binding, mitering
corners, joining tails, and finishing for a
show-quality back. Variations will be on display
and discussed. Many
major award-winners are using this technique to
achieve stunning results!

Designing With Circles
TWO DAYS
$70.00
This 1,2,3, or 5 day class allows
participants to use their collection of special fabrics
with circle unit format. In this class you
use circles on pieced triangle background blocks to
create mystery in your designs by learning to recognize
and control fabric textural lines. Construction
involves simple piecing and hand or machine appliqué.
These quilts offer an opportunity to use either a
wonderful fabric collection or one great fabric.
