Hawaiians
design their own quilts so that each pattern has personal meaning for its creator. In Make
Your Own Hawaiian Quilt, Nancy Chong will teach you to design your own appliqué,
choose the fabric and complete the appliqué and quilting. The process is fascinating and Nancy makes it as simple
as cutting out a paper snowflake. Create a treasure! See student quilts in the Gallery.

Traditional
Bargello quilts are visually exciting but the temperature really starts to rise when you turn them, curve them, and literally
set them on end. You will warm up by making Bargello Blues, the class project, but
that is just the beginning of your adventure with Ruth Blanchet. She will show you
how to construct your own eye-popping creations. Learn more.
Realistic
Fabric Portraits with Marilyn Belford will let you turn a favorite photograph into
a work of art in cloth. You do not have to be an artist - the camera has already done the drawing for you!
Marilyn shares her award-winning techniques. She will teach you to choose fabrics that work like paints and show
you how to use your sewing machine to paint with thread, bringing out the subtleties in your subject's face. You
will be amazed at what you can do! See completed student quilts in the Gallery.

Is
your embroidery machine just sitting there like a big, expensive paperweight?
Let Joanne Winn show you how to download designs, print them out, even convert
them if they are in the wrong format for your machine. You will be best
friends with your embroidery machine after you take Beginning Machine
Embroidery. You dreamt about adding beautiful threadwork to your projects
and now you can. Learn more.
Your finished
quilt is beautiful. You want to share it with your friends online, send entries to quilt shows or just keep a record
for your scrapbook. The pictures you take don't do justice to the real thing. Wouldn't it be nice if they did?
Let Janice Baehr show you how she takes such terrific quilt pictures in
Photographing Your Quilts. You do not need to be a professional to get good results!
