My Trunk Show 1 hour $100 + travel, meals and lodging if needed.
I show you the quilts from my patterns and books. I talk about what they are, and how many of them are put together, and fun anecdotes about some of them.

String Star
50" x 50" finished size
Use all of those odd scraps to stitch an old-fashioned string quilt. Fabrics are pieced on a muslin base, cut into diamonds, and then stitched together to form the star. Outside squares and triangles are pieced, so there are no Y seams.
Color Illusions
60" x 60"
Take a closer look. All of the squares in this quilt are the same block. The placement of the colors and values make them very different. Have fun seeing what you can do with this block, and make a quilt using any or all of the results.
Cactus Basket
30" x 41"
The baskets in this quilt are filled with cactus made from diamond pieces. This simple block teaches an easier way to do ‘Y’ seams. The pieces are stitched on the machine using a scant quarter inch seam. Blocks are set on point for a cute wall hanging or throw.
Into the Woods
48" x 52" finished size
Selected
piecing of the strips that make this block form a pattern of tessellating
trees. The trees can be seen right side up and upside down! Blocks can be made
of scraps, or single fabrics for a nice quilt. Precise cutting and piecing make
this one fit together well.
Pink Rosebuds
12 blocks 52 1/2" x 60" OR 20 blocks 69" x 89" before borders
Learn to use a Tri-Recs ruler to make elongated triangle leaves to surround these pieced rosebuds. On the other hand, are they tulips? Two sizes of nine patch blocks and floral sashing add charm to this quilt.
