I love sharing and teaching others how to make miniature and wall-sized reproduction quilts from my antique quilt collection.
CHEDDAR STARS (20" x 24") (1/2 - All Day)
Inspired by an antique circa 1890 cheddar orange Variable Star quilt. You can choose between making a miniature version (3" blocks) with reproduction fabrics or a funky wall quilt (5" blocks) using modern fabrics. Both are paper-pieced and a lot of fun. So choose your fabrics/style and your block size and get to work. You will learn tips for making accurate reproductions and also for updating antique designs a la the Modern Quilt Movement. You also learn about drafting and paper piecing free form floating stars (that means the points aren't supposed to match - so the pressure is off).


VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS (17" x 17") (All day)
Inspired by a charming antique crib quilt from Virginia, circa 1850. The original was clearly made for a well-loved child. Yes, the little flower baskets are only 1 1/2" inches high but they are do-able, taking it one stitch at a time and starting with the golden heart and tulips to get in the applique groove.
TULIP STARS - BATIK MAKEOVER EDITION (28" x 28") (1/2 - All Day)


PENNSYLVANIA POSIES FOR PADUCAH (40" x 40") (1/2 - All Day)
Inspired by several quilts in my collection and made using the Pilgrim Roy Challenge fabrics, I added the cheddar orange to the pink and red to create the PA German palette that makes me smile. Hand applique and paper pieced sashing. This folk art pattern is a delight to make and display.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP (16" x 16") (1/2 - All Day)


FOR THE BIRDS (24" x 24") (1/2 - All Day)
Antique meets modern. Inspired by two antique circa 1855 quilts but made with modern Riley Blake fabrics; the best of both worlds. Come see how to update antique treasures as we look at antique quilts and make heirlooms of our own.
Easy shapes for hand applique.
