Lectures:

"Don't be afraid to show that quilt!"    One quilter's surprise journey and words of advice for those quilters who think their quilts aren't "good enough" for a quilt show! This lecture is becoming more commonly known as the "Estonian Trunk Show" since I also share examples (including my outfit) of one of my biggest sources of inspiration, my Estonian heritage!

Electric Quilt Software: Virtual to Reality   With this lecture I will demonstrate how easy it is to use this software to design and construct the quilt you've been imagining! Please note: This is an overview of the software's capabilities with real life examples. It is not intended to be an instructional class.

College of Continuos Quilt Improvement  (CCQI)  NEW!!!
Learn or refresh those quilting skills that will eliminate the need to say “Don’t look too closely at my quilt!”

Not everyone has had the opportunity to learn the nitty-gritty mechanics of the quilting process that enable them to take their quilts to the next  level.  At CCQI, students will finally learn the answers to those nagging quilt questions that no book or pattern has ever answered.  By the end of the day students will have finished their final project, earned their diploma and will be ready to take their next CCQI course!

Topics include: 

• Fabric Prep 101
• The Elusive 1/4" Seam
• Pressing Matters
• Border Issues
• In a Bind (Binding tips and techniques)
• Squeeze More out of your Quilting Time!
• Get organized!
• and Sew Much More!

QUILTapestry: Orphan Block Rescue:  
Curious about how my Scandinavian Quilt Series quilts are finished without a binding and even incorporate a hanging sleeve into the design? Sign up for this workshop, grab an orphan block out of your studio, some fabric from your stash, a small piece of batting and you will go home with a finished mini wall quilt! 

See the QUILTapestry Gallery for samples.  My article on this technique is in the Winter 2011/12 issue of the NQA Quilting Quarterly.
