Butterflies and a spaniel

A couple of years ago I blogged about Sheril Drummond’s quilt Remembering Barbaro.

Last October at PIQF she had the most amazing, huge butterfly quilt called “Flights of Fancy.”

I checked Sheril’s blog Serendipity and was delighted to learn that she is now offering patterns and on-line classes to help others achieve the stunning look of her quilts. While you’re there be sure to send virtual scritchies to the Cavalier King Charles spaniel :) .

Until next time,

Filed Under Classes | 7 Comments

How about a class where you can learn to quilt without packing your sewing machine, loading the car, driving through rush hour… or even getting dressed!?

class_in_jammiesMy pocasting pal Annie Smith is offering a fantastic opportunity for readers of All About Appliqué. She’s giving away a free seat in her on-line Quilting 101 class! This class, which starts October 2, is for all skill levels, from beginners to anyone who would just like make a beautiful quilt. The class runs for about 11 (yes, 11) weeks and is a sampler of techniques.

If you’re already a skilled quiltmaker and you win this class, you can give it to a beginnery friend!

Go to Annie’s Quilting Stash Classroom and read all about Quiltmaking 101. Leave a comment here on the blog before 7:00 p.m. California time on Sunday, September 27, to be in the drawing.

Have fun sewing in your jammies!

Until next time,
Kay
