Treasures in the Trunk All quilts have a story to tell, if we just know how to "read" them! Learn about the history of quiltmaking in our country while looking at wonderful quilts typical of the different eras. Learn how to quickly date a quilt by the fabrics it contains and also hear the stories behind the quilts. A fascinating trunk show!

	Love Those 30's Quilts! Quilts from the 30s era have a distinctive look. Learn to recognize their fabrics and characteristics, hear the stories behind them, and learn how to recreate the look of the 30s quilts with today's reproduction fabrics. See a great trunk show of new and vintage quilts from that era!

	From Ho-Hum to WOW! Creativity in quilting can be learned! We can't re-invent the wheel (or quilt patterns), but we can be creative in the colors, settings and border we use. A wonderful trunk show of new and old quilts will inspire you to view quilts from a different perspective and re-evaluate all the quilts you are currently making. Learn to take your quilts beyond ordinary to extra-ordinary!

As I like my workshop offerings very current, I don't have a "set" list of classes. I also like to tailor the class to fit the group I am teaching or presenting to. Listed below are some ideas for workshops. Please contact me for more specific information.

	I can lead workshops out of any of my books -- miniatures to large quilts.

	I have a number of copyright free patterns available that have been very popular as workshops. See www.ezquilt.com to see some of the projects available.

A half-day workshop on dating quilts, quilt history, repair, restoration, storage and display of vintage quilts with the attendees bringing their quilts to share.

	Finishing School Would you like to add some pizzazz to your quilts by adding a fancy border, but are afraid to try? Then this class is for you!

In class you will make bound samples of scalloped, notched and shaped edges such as hexagon edges (as in Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt), ice cream cone borders, and Double Wedding Ring curves and points. You will also learn how to make (and finish) prairie point edgings, mitered and rounded corners, and adding a flange.The class will include a professional’s tips on perfect bindings and no-lump joints for a fabulous finishing touch on all your quilts!
