Virtual Group Options
Below are descriptions of classes offered for large groups such as quilt guilds, or shows, virtually (see individual classes for this option).
In addition to the class fees, I can supply kits for a small fee.
Group classes are currently $650 per day and are generally limited to 20 students. Half day classes are $450.
For all classes, students must be comfortable with dropping their machine’s feed dogs and using a free-motion or darning foot. All classes are done in raw edge applique and thread sketching.

Spectacular Stitching for Your Landscape
aka Stitch Sampler
This whole day class is truly a notebook sampler of machine stitching techniques. Students learn the basics of machine set-up and stitching, choosing fabrics, and using adhesives, threads, and stabilizers. We will work according to samples provided by the instructor to make realistic rocks, trees, grasses, flowers, water and more and assemble them into a handy reference booklet. Note, we will not make a picture, but will make the stitched elements that can be put into it.
All levels. No kit, students bring stabilizer, thread, and fabric scraps.
These techniques are also available as a one hour presentation.

Beginning Landscape
Learn how to use simple perspective, art principles, fabric choices and stitches to make realistic landscapes.

(However each student is free to choose their fabric arrangements and picture design.)
