Please join me at the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza where I will be teaching my award winning techniques!
ONE DAY ONLY! Thursday, September 17th, 9am-4pm

Free Motion “Thread Painting” can be a whole lot of fun and very rewarding once you master the technique. I have been fortunate to win multiple blue ribbons for my thread painting. No one was more surprised than me!

In this class I will share with you how I got started thread painting, what techniques I used to improve my skills and how I approach my free motion quilting on new projects. I will also share some of the techniques I use to “finish” the design after the quilting is done.
