Below is a list of the different workshops I currently offer:
	Quilt Planning Learn the basics of quilt design and planning. The class includes the creation of your own patterns and quilt.
	Durham Style Quilting Learn the basics of quilt pattern drafting, working through a wide variety of designs for blocks, borders and larger projects.
	Sashiko Learn the basics of this Japanese method of stitching and the principles of drafting patterns in sashiko stitchery. During the day the student will make a stitch record of a wide variety of patterns that can be used as wrapped cushion covers, bags, jackets, etc.
	Hawaiian Appliqué Learn how to fold and cut the large patterns needed for this impressive quilt style. During the class we will work on a smaller project.
	Baltimore Appliqué Learn how to stitch painlessly and accurately so that you can recreate a block from a Baltimore Album Quilt - without pain! A wide variety of blocks will be available to see although we will only work on one. We shall cover stitching flowers, leaves, stems and baskets.
	Bags For All Small fun bags for lots of occasions - that ideal "latch raiser" (gift when you go out for supper). A fun day when a wide variety of techniques will be covered to create a bag full of bags. Techniques to be covered include: pockets, gussets, straps and handles. A fast and fun workshop!
	Medallion Quilts By taking inspiration from the quilters of the past you will create your own tribute to these former craftswomen by using a selection of contemporary fabrics. You can start your project at the workshop and over a short period at home you will have a Quilt Top ready for quilting.
	Strippy Quilt By making your Quilt Top before the class (instructions will be sent), your time during the workshop will be spent learning how to design your own quilting patterns. After the designing stage you will learn to transfer them to the fabric ready for quilting.
	Molas Take the mystery out of these fasinating panels made by the women of the San Blas Islands. During the class we will work a piece suitable for a cushion or small bag using the reverse appliqué technique.
	Mariner's Compass Discover how easy this block is to draft by making your own sample. The sample is large enough to start a larger project!
	Boxes and Books Learn how to make fabric-covered boxes in the traditional way, including dividers, trays and lids.
	Amish-style Quilt By taking inspiration from the Amish plan you will make a small quilt using the traditional solid colours to make a bold quilt and a showcase for beautiful hand quilting.
	Original Block Challenge yourself to design your own traditional block and develop it into a very personal quilt. A small project that, like Topsy, just grows!
	Block Making - Freestyle Learn how to make fast patchwork blocks that are template-free. A useful technique that is fun and fast. Great for that short notice quilt.
