New Classes Available in 2020

 I am working on developing some new classes this year.  Since I am focus more on teaching than on vending I wanted some new and different workshop options for guilds and shops.

The first is one I have been tossing around for a long time.  I love teaching my Merry Go Round quilt because it has so many setting options, and is so easy to make.  And talk about simple, all it takes is 1 jelly roll!

Look how cool it looks when you switch of the blocks a little bit.

Here are some pictures from a few of my classes.  I am always amazed by how different each one looks.  Some students pull fabric from their stash instead of using a jelly roll.  The results are always wonderful.

But here is one more setting I love, and I was thinking of doing a sample like this for a new class. 

I love it, but they said, oh what the hell, lets go for broke.  One of the options is a bit more involved, but way more eye-catching, so I am working up the sample now and will put the class together in the next week or so.

It is called OH MY STARS 

Here is one a student made in class.  I totally love and (and so does she).  I need to run downstairs to my studio and take a picture of some of the blocks I have up on my wall.  It is a Christmas jelly roll and I can't wait to get it done and photographed.

And look at these cool strip sets I am using to cut my triangle units?  Adorable what?

Did I mention it is put together in rows and there are no set-in seams????  Yea, my kinda quilt.
