Whether you're new to quilting or have years of experience, ongoing learning is an important part of the quilting journey. We encourage quilters to take advantage of the many educational resources available, including instructional books, online courses, videos, local guilds, workshops, and quilting events.
These resources provide inspiration, technical guidance, and opportunities to connect with fellow quilters. Here are a few of our growing list of resources.

Are you looking for a specific Workshop? Is there a quilt, a process or a technique you woud like to learn in person?
Have your guild or convenor contact me or use this form to submit a request. I began teaching classes in 1990 as Pfaff sewing maching representative and have worked in training on and off for over 30 years. Sewing and custom home decor were my go-tos but now as a longarmer I have discovered the wonderful world of quilting. Wanting to quilt more economically and quickly, I have developed "No Waste Quick Finish" quilt patterns and teach them to novices and experts alike. The methods I have developed are a conglomeration of years of learning different time saving techniques and of course the love of pinching pennies! I continue to search for short cuts (that make sense and make better quilts) and cost saving methods so that quilting becomes affordable again! |

If you would like a workshop developed or want a trunk show - please give me a shout ay (705) 791-8830. I'll likely be quilting but can usually hear you over the hum of the longarm! I do travel and offer reasonable rates for teaching. I can also supply kits, batting and backings for workshops I offer. I bring with me an excitement and love of colour and design. I teach mostly traditional blocks - making them more modern and appealing to fit into today's decor. I also offer one on one training and workshops in my studio and can accomodate 4 people comfortably. If you would like to visit the studio - why not come out for Studio Tuesday and bring your machine with you! |
