The Wackydoodle Trunk Show - his presentation follows my quilting journey through a variety of different techniques. Sometimes realistic and sometimes totally wacky. My collection is a truly eclectic trek.
Challenges: What to do?
You are calmly sitting in your quilt group enjoying life. Then you hear " The challenge for this year is....". Does panic set in? Do you want to participate, but not sure what to do next? Learn good ideas on how to approach challenges, where to find them, and why everyone should participate in them.

Quilted Jigsaw Puzzle Technique
With this technique students can combine two hobbies, because it is very much like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. A raw-edge fusible applique is used leaving a negative space between each piece. The background fabric can be in any color, but if black is used the piece will have a wonderful stained glass look. This is a fun class for both beginner and experienced quilters. There are 6 different patterns to choose from.
