Quilt Class

I like to teach quiltmaking using a sampler quilt format. I think it helps students ‘study’ the various techniques that are helpful in quiltmaking.

Sampler Class Tutorials:

• Curves
  • Laying out a Dresden Plate
  • Sewing Curves
• Double Pinwheel
• Dresden Plate
• Fabric Selection
• Flying Geese
• LeMoyne Star
• Nine Patch
• Fusible Machine Applique’
  • Rose Wreath/Flower Wreath Part 1
  • Rose Wreath/Flower Wreath Part 2
  • Rose Wreath/Flower Wreath Part 3

Here is some student work:

I wrote about Alice’s Sampler in 2007. She used batiks to make it and it just glows.

Beth’s Sampler using two color fabric choices:

Beth’s Sampler

Didn’t she do a nice job? This can be a really challenging color choice, because the maker doesn’t have much to work with in terms of creating contrast. Beth did an excellent job.
