Trip for 2 to Boston, or Colorwash Irish Chain, or Colorwash Trip Around the World - $35

Saturdays, January 9 & 23    

10:00 am - 2: 00

This is a two-part class with homework between classes. Strip sewing at its best, with some fantastic quilts when you are done! (The easiest one for beginners is the Trip Around the World design.) Pattern required.

Open Sew Day - no charge

Bring whatever project you want and spend the day with quilting friends! No instruction, just great company. Space is limited.

Fabric Bowls or Boxes - $22

Saturday, February 6

10:00 - 2:00

Learn how to make either a fabric bowl or box in this one-day class, based on projects from my book 90-Minute Fabric Fun. Bring a sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch.

Locker Hooking - $29 incl. kit with most supplies; you bring your own fabric & scissors

Saturdays, February 13 & 20

10:00 - 11:30

You provide the 1.5"-wide strips of fabric and a pair of scissors and start a 9" trivet in this 2-part class. No sewing machine needed! This makes a wonderful take-along handwork project.

Remember, to be officially signed up for a class you must pre-pay at the store location or by calling me with payment information.

I can e-mail you the class supply list if you aren't able to get to town before class.

Most classes require that you provide your own sewing machine - unless otherwise stated. Bring your usual sewing supplies like scissors, thread, rotary cutting equipment, seam ripper, pins, etc.

As quilters, we all love to learn new techniques and tricks, experiment with the latest products on the market, and learn fast and more accurate ways to piece. Why do something the hard way when there's a new process that's easier and looks just as good?

As your teacher, I focus on thse new and speedy methods. I adapt instruction to the skill level and needs of my students, and make the learning process fun and memorable for everyone. I'd describe myself as a patient optimist, pointing out the good in everyone's work, sharing insights so class members learn from each other - all in a very positive atmosphere. Students leave class with new knowledge and friendships, feeling energized and empowered. Class is educational and FUN!

Idaho Commission on the Arts, Arts Education Program

School teachers wanting to include more arts into their regular curriculum, this is for you. I am a Teaching Artist with this organization, and am proud to bring quilting and fabric art to the classroom. Ask me what I can do to help write a grant proposal to bring art into your school!

To quote Program Director, Ruth Piispanen, “The Idaho Commission on the Arts is committed to providing a system for artists and teachers to work together to explore how to use the arts to achieve learning goals, carry out projects that excite imaginations, foster creativity, and emphasize quality.” See more about the Idaho Commission on the Arts here.

POAC has rotating shows of art in all mediums at different businesses and galleries throughout town year round. Shows are by individual artists or local groups, and they change about every two months. My quilts are often included in these displays. Two of the bigger events sponsored by POAC are the Artwalk exhibitions in June, July, and August, and the annual Arts & Crafts Show at City Beach. Read more about POAC here.
