I would love to come to your show, shop or guild and present any of the following topics. These are tried and true events that have never failed to produce many "light bulb" moments! I can create a 1, 2 or 3 day schedule tailored to fit your needs!
OPTION #1 “My quilt top is done – now what do I do?” – (3 hour) * (Hands on - without machines – just table space)
Bring several tops to class and follow Cheryl’s easy steps for creating a unique quilting plan which includes asking questions about the quilt and fabric then auditioning a variety of designs and creating the patterns to complete when you get home. Experience the value of having a “stash” of quilting designs as a source for inspiration, which notions make marking a breeze and how to use the Dot-to-Dot Method for becoming a confident free-motion quilter? Leave class with the skills you need to plan the quilting and finish your quilts!
OPTION #2 “My quilt top is done – now what do I do?” – (3 hour) *Lecture/ Trunk Show /Technique Demo **Encourage attendees to bring an unquilted top to share and plan!
How many quilt tops have you painstakingly pieced, lovingly admired, then gently folded and stored away? You are not alone! Here are the top three reasons quilters don’t quilt their quilt!
