STUDENT PROJECTS
STUDENT PROJECTS
In my class, "Easy Ways to Use Linens and Laces", each student designs and executes an original small wholecloth wall quilt, starting with a doily or linen piece. Each student was able to finish their piece, quiting and binding included, within a few days of the class. It is a delight to see each unique project develop during the class.
Classes and lectures change frequently. Please contact me for information and to determine which fits your group's needs best !
The projects below are from a class in Concord, North Carolina. I enjoyed being with you, quilters!
