May 16 Techniques Day Registration Open
On May 16 we are offering our second annual Techniques and Embellishment Day. You will have the choice of various 2.5 hour classes. Each person will choose two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. There will be a limit of 10 persons per session, so sign up early to ensure you get your first choices.
Each class will have a KIT priced by and paid directly to the teacher. The kit will have everything needed to learn and practice the technique. There is also a Supply List which discusses the class in more detail how the technique/embellishment can be used in quilting, and what you need to bring. Go to the Supply Lists tab under Workshops to find the lists. Be sure to read it and come prepared for a wonderful day of learning new ways of enhancing your quilt tops.

This Lecture Was Via Zoom
Her's some information about the April speaker.

Kena Tangi Dorsey
Big,Bold & Beautiful: Using African Prints in Quilts ​
Kena Tangi Dorsey is a quilt artist, teacher, speaker, mentor, pattern designer and owner of Kena Quilt Studio. She began sewing and quilting almost 20 years ago and has enjoyed designing and selling custom-made modern and traditional quilts ever since.
She has now expanded the artistry of her business to focus on helping others revel in the joys of quilt-making. She teaches quilting classes using the style and techniques that she’s fallen in love with while making portrait art quilts, modern quilts, and quilted bags over the years.
She loves using the big, bold, rich colors that you may find in African wax print fabrics, Indonesian batiks, and Kaffe Fassett collections, to name a few. They’re so much fun to work with, and she wants to share that passion with you! ​​​​​
There's still room, and time, to sign up for the May Techniques Workshop, also on the Workshops page.​​​​
