"Sizzling Circle Papaya Mon"                            3 Hours           

Circles are a truly amazing shape, basic yet so full of possibilities!  Most of the time we avoid circles in quilting like the plague due to their bias edges.  That's what makes this a fabulous technique...No bias edges!  It's a Quilt-As-You-Go style of pattern.  The circles are finished quite quickly and the you decide to hand or machine appliqué.


"Japanese Vintage Silk Scarf"                            3 Hours            Kit:  $15.00

The Lounge Lizard Pants are based upon a rectangle and are quite quick and fun to create.  The leg may be tapered to remove extra width or left as a palazzo pant.  Make a coordinating pant for your favorite quilted jacket or in flannel for around the house.  The pants have a drawstring waist and sizes 0 (XSm) - 5 (2X) are included in the pattern.

"Jackets That Fit Your Style"                              6 Hours            Pattern  $10.00

    "Asian Inspiration" - Basic - using a large scale fabric for the sleeves
         Supply List

    "Keystone"-Intermediate - 5 different piecing techniques in the design
         Supply List

The jacket pattern we will be using is based upon the rectangle, so the construction is straight seam piecing.  Each participant will design and create a jacket that fits their own unique size and flair, from sedate to elaborate!  A foundation of muslin or flannel is used for the design process, which becomes the jacket and allows the jacket to drape softly.  The goal is to make a jacket that fits your style.  Sample jackets of each size will be available for fitting and design purposes and we can adjust each pattern for various cup sizes.  Sizes 0 (XSm) - 5 (2X) are included in each pattern.            

                                                     Choose one style of jacket for the workshop!
