Lecture with Trunk Show
Quilt Guild Program-Lecture with Trunk Show
--My program as a speaker consists of an overview of my piecing system, Flip-Flop Paper Piecing, and the story of how it was developed, illustrated by a Trunk Show of 10-12 quilts or quilted projects. I also tell the unlikely story of how I found a publisher for my technique and became a first-time author. Presentation can last from 30 to 60 minutes, your choice.
Workshops
Flip-Flop Paper Piecing--an introduction to Flip-Flop Paper Piecing, a new single-foundation paper-piecing system. Three of the 13 techniques in Flip-Flop Paper Piecing are presented with 1-2 blocks constructed in each technique: The Basic Flip-Flop (the key to the system), Say Goodbye to the Y (the construction of a Y-seam style of block, Attic Windows, with the Y-seam eliminated), and Ring Around the Circle with Partial Seam Piecing (the use of a single paper foundation to simplify partial seam piecing). 6-8 hour workshop, your choice.
The Basic Flip-Flop--An in depth coverage of Chapter 2 from Flip-Flop Paper Piecing. Both blocks from the chapter, Birds in the Air and The 4 Knaves, are constructed in the 6" size, and The 4 Knaves is constructed in miniature (2 1/4").
