"Your multi-level
approach to teaching
colour concepts really
worked well for me,
and I especially
appreciated your
facility to clarify
a concept using
totally different words to
make it understandable
- a rare ability,
in my experience."

 

 

 

 

"I wanted to tell you
just how much
I enjoyed the
colour workshop.
It was excellent
- an engrossing two days
- I learned far more
than I expected I would
in such a (relatively)
short workshop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Every time you talk
about colour,
another light goes on
in my fuzzy brain!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


About My Classes

“Information is Magic” or “Everything is a Mystery until You Get Some Facts”

I teach all levels of students on a regular basis and like to focus on student individuality. Everyone learns differently, and I try to present my classes so the information is accessible to all students. My classes are noted for their relaxed, fun and positive atmosphere.

Maximum class size is 20 students, to allow for individual attention to all students.

All one-day classes are 6 hours and two-day classes are two six-hour sessions.

Thank you for your interest in my classes.  Please contact me for more information.

Colour Workshops for the Terrified Quilter
Hands-on (with fabric) workshops, no sewing machines!

Colour for the Terrified Quilter - Color and Value - one-day workshop
Do you have trouble choosing fabric colours for projects? This one-day class introduces you to the colour wheel as a quilter’s tool. Learn about how colours work together and how value choices affect your quilting projects. Create your own reference book as we work through exercises using fabrics.

Colour for the Terrified Quilter - The Wheel and Colour Combinations to Make you More Fearless- 2 day workshop
Put the colour wheel to use, learn how it works for you as a tool. Work with various colour combinations to learn how to put colours together to suit YOU. Then play with your new skills to create the special effects of depth and transparency. Students have a reference book when finished.

Design Principles for Quilters
2 day class only. Improve the visual impact of your quilts- whether they are traditional or contemporary - by learning about balance and unity and the elements of design - line, shape and colour.

Additional Workshops Offered

Orphan Blocks and Leftovers
One or two-day class. Clean up the UFO pile and make a memory quilt. Learn how to put abandoned projects and orphan blocks together into a one of a kind quilt that reflects your personality.

Fabric Collage
One day class.  A creative and easy class. Relax and have fun finding new possibilities in your fabrics. Work with a picture or photo (one of your own or one provided) and cut fabrics to make a raw-edge appliqué version.

Finishing Quilts - More Than Straight Edges
One day class.  A technique class aimed at giving you many more options for the edges of your quilts. Make samples of many different bindings, shark’s teeth, scalloped or faced edges, and adding embellishments to edges.

Double Decker Appliqué
One Day class.  Create layers of interest with this technique. You can plan your design or be surprised by it. Your workshop piece can be the stepping off point for embellishment, using threads, beads or both. The possibilities are endless.
