I'm Teaching at Quilt Con

Some of you might already be creating spread sheets and plotting the perfect Quilt Con schedule. Some of you might be saying, what is Quilt Con?! Let me address the latter first. Quilt Con is put on by the Modern Quilt Guild and is a giant quilting extravaganza celebrating modern quilting and all the ideas/discussions/making/creativity that comes with the modern quilting movement! You can read more about it here. A quick google search will yield countless blog posts about how life changing the event can be. In 2017, the event will be in Savannah, Georgia! You'll want to be there!!I'm very excited to be teaching and wanted to share a bit more about my workshops and lectures! I'm teaching four workshops and giving one lecture. My lecture is Thursday at 1:30. It's called Techniques of the Trade: Tips for Easier Quilting & Sewing. This lecture was born on Tuesday...my Terrific Tip Tuesday blog series to be precise! It's a lecture full of things you wish you'd already known mixed with tips long forgotten. There's something for everyone who has a passion for quilting!My first class is Thursday night, from 6 to 9. We'll be making my All Sewn Up Sewing Kit. This fun little kit is the perfect size to pack for class or take your sewing project on the road. There are lots of lessons in perfecting your top stitching and bag making skills, plus a quick introduction into interfacing.On Friday morning from 9 to 12 and Saturday evening from 6 to 9, I'll be teaching my Understanding the Rainbow class. This class is based in Color Theory, but goes far beyond to apply your skills to your fabric selection and quilt layouts. We will make a dresden color wheel. The fabric is included in the class fee and I've already started pulling together some goodies!My last class is all about free motion quilting on a domestic machine. We will focus on quilting those quick smaller projects, from table runners to mug rugs to minis. The only requirement is that you've at least attempted free motion quilting prior to class. My quilting method is very learn as you go and this class will be about exploring what works for you. I'll also load in lots of tips and tricks and a few go to designs.I hope to see you at Quilt Con in Savannah! And I'd definitely love to see you in one of my classes! Remember, you can also just get a show pass to enjoy the AMAZING quilt show and vendors. Let me know if you have any questions about the classes or Quilt Con in general!xo LC
