Below are descriptions of classes offered for large groups such as quilt guilds, or shows, in person (when circumstances prove to be safe) and virtually (see individual classes for this option).

In addition to the class fees, I can supply stabilizer, fabrics, and specialty items 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.

Beardie In Bobbin Work

Make this adorable Bearded Collie while learning to do bobbin work! You will work in free motion and create great texture on this little guy. The finished Beardie is about 10" high and can be applied to any background. He's so cute and fun to make! Half day. All levels

Pattern provided.  *Virtual or in person.

Dyeing for a Landscape

This class begins with simple dyeing of sheer silk. No caustic solutions, heat setting or mess. Then we make a simple landscape picture over the silk. It doesn't need to be a tropical scene. You will learn some free motion stitching for the trees and grasses.  Easy peasy! One day. All levels, Kit fee $15

*In person only.

Stitch Sampler

This one-day class is truly a 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. All levels. No kit, students bring stabilizer, thread, and fabric scraps. * A half day class is available for learning trees only.

These techniques are also available as a one hour presentation.

*Virtual or in person.

Beginning Landscape

Learn how to use simple perspective, art principles, fabric choices and stitches to make realistic landscapes. The instructor provides a 'kit' with patterns, stabilizer and fabric choices for an additional fee. Each student is free to choose their fabrics and picture arrangement. 

One day, beginning and intermediate levels. 8x10”  Optional Kit fee $20

*Virtual or in person

This class is similar to ‘From Photo to Fabric Landscape’ but you use your own pictures! You will be guided through the art principles, fabric choices, and stitching techniques for which my realistic work is known. The first session is informational, including which fabrics to choose. You work on making design and layout decisions based on information I’ve given you. No machine is needed until the second class. In the second class you get help with fabric choice and positioning, and then sewing begins! The third class focuses on what YOU need. Lots of individual attention and fun is always included. 

Intermediate Level. Class runs 9-12 hours usually spread over 3 sessions. In a workshop setting, it is finishable in 4 days. 

No kit provided.

*VIrtual or in person

Do you love windows? This is for you. You will learn how to make a window look set in to the wall, how to make the shutters, the mullions, and the wall have dimension and texture-all with raw edge applique and thread painting.  Additionally, you’ll learn an easy way to make shadows, curtains and a reflection in the window. The finishing touch is a lush flower box. There is a kit fee for fabrics and special materials you will need. One day, and it’s ready to frame. You’ll want to make tons of these! One day. All levels. 8x10”
