Feb. 19, 2025 – Wednesday 1-4pm Basic Piecing is the Cornerstone

Make a table runner with a variety of simple blocks to learn basic cutting skills and trusted piecing techniques with only three fat quarters. For efficiency, we will use a cutting plan to maximize the use of your fat quarters. Options will be given for moving blocks around to change up the layout. 

Feb. 20, 2025 – Thursday 1-4pm Become a Brilliant Binder

Make perfect bindings every time! Learn flawless mitered corners and no-fuss end seams with Debbie’s Brilliant Bindings© tool and technique. Make samples of continuous straight-of-grain and bias binding for straight and curved edges. Stitching the binding to the back will be done by hand and machine. Plus, we’ll work with odd-angle bindings often found on many table runners. 

Feb. 21, 2025 – Friday, 1-4pm Oooh Hexie Baby: Piecing with No “Y” Seams

Discover time-saving techniques to create the beloved Tumbling Baby Blocks pattern with ease! In this workshop, you’ll learn how to simplify this classic design using strip-piecing methods. With the help of the Hex-a-ma-jig Template, cutting becomes a breeze, and you’ll achieve precise piecing—all without the hassle of Y seams.

I hope to see some of you in class next year!

I’ve got several guild lectures to finish out this year. Tomorrow, I’ll be Zoom-ing with the Patched Lives Quilt Guild in Center Wales, WI. Then on Sunday, I’m in person for the Cornerstone Quilt Guild in Charlton, MA. Next week on Nov. 21st you will find me at the Narragansett Bay Quilters in East Greenwich, RI and then teaching Brilliant Bindings by Machine for them on Sat. Nov.23rd.

On Dec.7th, I’m teaching for one of my home guild’s Blackstone Valley Heritage Quilters making a Curved Log Cabin Quilt or Table Runner.

Looking forward to family time over Thanksgiving and Christmas! Plus a Wedding to start the new year!
