Class on Chop and Drop Applique

I combined several techniques when making the Garden Lady series and was asked several times to teach a class on my chop and drop applique method.  So, I agreed to teach the class during the CCQ Saturday workshop day.  The thing I had to keep in mind was the time limit and how complicated the class could be.  I started by grabbing some photos from Pinterest and narrowed the selection down to an images from a clothing manufacturer.


I traced the picture and changed a few of the details before I had it blown up to a manageable size for the class.  I'm showing only a few steps that are needed to complete this class piece.  If you want more, you have to sign up for the class during the Saturday workshops, or schedule it with your group or guild.





I hope to see you in my class!

Clark County Quilters Show - 2025

Clark County Quilters held their annual Quiltfest in March 2025 at the Clark County Event Center.  So many beautiful quilts.  It is always fun for me to volunteer at the show to help set it up, sell tickets, do other jobs during the show, meet with friends, and talk to the public.  Here are some of the highlights:
