A CHALLENGE One of my students has a friend who is stationed in Iraq. He told her they love receiving red, white, and blue quilts and blankets from home. So, if you know someone who is flying the flag half a world away, make a patriotic quilt and send it to them. Show them how much you care. Send me a picture and I'll create a special gallery page for these patriotic quilts. Thanks.

Uncle Sam Wants YOU...
...to
be a
Quilter
These
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.
