About Me

 

LUPINE AND  DAYLILIES REPLACE READING

Spring is finally here and our thoughts have shifted from Rob reading aloud to me while I quilt to working in our little perennial and vegetable gardens.

Now I'll be looking for a few good books to read on rainy summer days.  Any suggestions? 
 

TIP:  You can enjoy books while you quilt and sew, too, by listening to books on tape (or CD).

You, Too, Can Become a Quilter and
Make a Garden of Quilts!

Bonnie Hunter Quilting TeacherThese classes and workshops focus on teaching basic techniques that will build confidence and help you develop your own individual style.  They include a wide range of designs from traditional hand-pieced samplers to basic machine-pieced quilts and not-so-traditional techniques including machine-pieced curves, paper piecing, Bargello, introduction to watercolors, and more using the latest methods and equipment. 

Quilting workshops combine the excitement and timeless appeal of traditional quilt designs and basic techniques with new equipment and construction methods developed for today's quilter.  The classes are rated for difficulty based primarily on the complexity of the quilt construction techniques and pattern.  Together, we can determine which classes are best for you based on your own level of sewing and quilting experience. 

Bring a Quilting Class in Your Town!

Students from all over Washington County (and beyond) come to classes that are held weekends at Charlotte Elem. School.  But, for as few as 5 students, you can have a quilting workshop in your town!  Just gather a few friends, find a room large enough to accommodate sewing machines, irons, and enthusiasm, and I’ll pack my bags with patterns, class samples, and patience and come to you.  It’s a day of quilting fun, right in your own back yard. 

Want to Learn More?

Take a few minutes to look through my website and see what I have to offer. Want to learn more?  Think about scheduling a Trunk Show in your neighborhood and see if learning how to quilt might be for you.    

You can shop at "The Smallest Quilt Shop in Maine" at most weekend classes.  A portable shop I bring to workshops, it lets you conveniently purchase books, patterns, supplies and other class-related equipment, all at discount prices.  Click here for pictures from the 2007 Open House.

In addition to teaching, I'm also on the road with a collection of antique & modern quilts and my lecture, "This Old Quilt," a brief history of quilting.
