A Great Gift Idea!
Here’s a great gift idea! Create a handbag using the Broderie Perse method. This technique is easy and fun and always makes for a very special gift. My Broderie Perse class is “on –demand” so it is always ready when you are.
You don’t need to be a great artist to design your own fabric.
If you thought you had to be an artist to design your own fabric, think again! You can turn this...
November's on-demand class review - part 3
For part 3 of my presentation of on-demand classes, I will list three of my own classes. Currently, I have over 20 online workshops, some are scheduled while others are on-demand. The focus on scheduled workshops is the one-to-one teacher help for the given time (much longer than physical in-person workshops where you only have a day or two which is shared with other students!).... but back to my on-demand classes which have continuous access meaning you can start anytime. Of course, you still have access to the teacher for help in these classes too.
November's on-demand class review - part 2
Here is part 2 of this series of blog posts taking a closer look at our on-demand classes. One of the great features of our on-demand classes is that they have continuous access so you can start any time and finish any time.

I want to make a Christmas Tree Skirt
A number of years ago, I designed a Christmas Tree Skirt for a friend. I designed it in such a way so that I could have a number of different options included. The tree skirt base is made up of blocks and wedges to form a circular design to fit the tree. There are several reasons why I have designed it this way.
The Grid
The Grid - one of the exercises from Inspired to Design with Elizabeth Barton. You can try it too or join her online workshop for even more inspiration and designing skills.
Computer Designing for Quilters
It is such a good feeling to have another class completed - it's been a number of years! I've been working diligently this year to get my latest completed with lots of writing, rewriting, creating and editing images, and making over 30 videos. I believe I counted 35 in total!
Abstract Art Excerpt
"Last week we looked at simple construction paper collage techniques for design based on some of the ideas used by the early abstractionists Sonia Delaunay and Sophie Taueber-Arp.
