Crazy Fun
Let's go crazy and make a fun crazy quilt that's amazingly easy to create. We'll start by machine piecing fabric scraps of all varieties onto cotton batiste fabric, then hand embellishing with silk ribbons, beads, buttons, embroidery thread and so much more!

Cindy Page
Alaska
Alaska is a kaleidoscope quilt with a twist. The blocks are simple to construct and the pattern
gives clear instructions for piecing the entire series of blocks used in this design. This class
will focus on building precision piecing skills. Everyone needs a challenge once in a while.

Beach House
This is the perfect pattern for a beach retreat. The Beach House combines a perfect log cabin with perfect flying geese with all their points in place. Assemble it together using curved piecing techniques. Using The Beach House Quiltworx pattern, the student will learn how to prepare and cut their fabric for use with Quiltworx techniques (cutting fabric strips, using templates to cut their fabric).

Veronica Moriarty
Gateway Your Way

with sewing gentle curves by making one simple shape. You can make the blocks as
directed, or you can get creative with your fabrics and make the blocks your way.

fighting to tear off the paper. And your patterns are reusable!
