Teaching quilting classes is the most fun activity I have found relating to my world of creative endeavors. The fall brings opportunities to share my small amount of knowledge, picked up over years of watching talented, inspirational teachers, with students who are eager to learn and having great fun at this amazing craft.


In September I taught a Beginning Quilting class where we made a wonderful quilt called Batik Impressions created by Margaret Bogel of Quilt Connection in Murfreesboro. The students really like the versatility of this design and are delighted with how easy it is to make.




I am currently teaching a class called Fall Garden Trellis at Quilt Connection and this is also a very easy quilt to make, once you get the color placement in your head. The variety of looks that you can achieve with this quilt are endless.



I will be teaching a class in December for kids to begin learning to sew by making a pillow case. This will be a really fun project to make something easy that goes together fast and looks great when they are finished!
