You may sign up for one, two or ALL of the classes Joanie will be offering over the weekend.

Determine effective quilting designs for any quilt, learn how a single design can be manipulated to fill the quilt top perfectly coordinating squares, triangles, and multi-sized border designs and what to stitch first, last and why. Using simple tools and skills from the art world, Joanie demonstrates how you can adapt images for quilting, create continuous line designs and a variety of marking procedures. After this class, you will never again be at a loss when your pattern suggests, “quilt as desired.” No sewing machine needed. We’ll be drawing and designing all day long!
