It is important that you are comfortable quilting on a home machine, either using a free motion foot, stitch regulator, walking foot, or embroidery foot. Whichever quilting style you prefer, you must bring a foot that will do the zigzag stitch used to finish the edge of your piece. You can choose to use both images in the panel for a two-sided piece or use a different fabric for one side.

- Standard sewing/quilting tools
- Sewing machine and extension table
- 20” x 20” piece of your favorite batting (thin works best)

| Instructor Bio: | Quilting has been an important part of my life for over 70 years. I made quilts with my mother, quilts of necessity. I made quilts for my family and friends, quilts of love and celebration. As an adult, I became driven by advanced techniques and patterns and was influenced by master quilters like Jinny Beyer. After I retired in 2008 from a career in IT communications and education, I had the time to expand my traditional quilting skills into modern designs. From there, I began exploring many fiber art techniques and for the last ten years I have enjoyed designing most of my pieces. Color, texture, nature, geometry, and yes, even math, have been the main foundation elements in my recent work. I was selected as the Artist in Residence for Q1 2021 by the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association. No matter the material, no matter the design, no matter the quality of workmanship, the success of each piece is always the joy of the process. |
