1. MACHINE QUILTING: Basics & Beyond Using Debby's KISS Method (Keep It Small & Simple), discover how liberating free-motion machine quilting can be. Discuss threads, batting and basting, then do lots of PRACTICE. Doodles, swirls, curves and other simple shapes gently guide you into this exciting world. Excellent for both beginning and intermediate level free-motion quilters. See 18" Sample here
2. COFFEE FILTER FANS (24" x 30") - Using large-size coffee filters as your foundation paper, learn to piece a simple fan without set in seams! Finish the base with a triangle and stitch the fan to the background using machine appliqué. Easy, addictive, fun! Two colorways: (Sample created by Suzanne Auble) Light Coffee Filter Fans1 and mine, Dark Coffee Filter Fans2
THREE CLASSES FROM MY NEW BOOK
3. CIRCLES OF APPLIQUED HEARTS (20" x 29") - Play with color and a simple heart shape. Learn how to use fusible webbing, an easy machine zig zag stitch and variegated thread to create a small version of the large quilt in my new book. Choose from FABULOUS 1930s fabrics on cream background OR Dotty Brights on black. All fabrics are provided by Windham Fabrics. Visit their Fabric Gallery to see Feedsack Prints and Bright Basics!
4. MODERN GRACE QUILT (35" x 35") - Working with large scale prints, you just let the fabric do the work! A stripe here, a mini print there and put it all together using a simple Amish quilt setting for a quick and fun project for even the Beginner. While these fabrics are no longer available, I've chosen some other fantastic prints - all first quality, quilt shop fabrics! All fabrics are provided by Windham Fabrics.
5. BIG BLOCK LEMOYNE STAR (41" x 41") - Here's your chance to sew a LeMoyne Star without the y-seams in a single-star block. We strip piece the 4 Patch diamonds and split the large background patches into triangles. Large scale prints and fun colors (two choices) make for a QUICK and fun approach to a traditional, BIG impact block. Sample 1 and Sample 2, both made with Blank Qulting Fabrics!
***My kits are made with ONLY the very best quilt shop fabric.
