The perfect choice for our quilt club!

I enjoyed my quilt club’s 3 session zoom class. Zoom is a good way to give quilters continued access to classes during a time of social distancing,  and the pattern Kathy chose for our group was the perfect one for

Jungle Magnolia by Carmen Van Eck
What a terrific project this Jungle Magnolia was to make. I’ve been quilting for over 30 years, but this is truly the most challenging quilt I’ve ever made. I couldn’t have done it without your help. I’m so happy with

Zoom Class – Much Better than in Person!

I purchased a Dinner Plate Dahlia quilt kit awhile back and I realized had no idea how to make that quilt. Then I found Kathy’s zoom class. I was so glad I took her class. She’s an excellent instructor. Very

Binding Basics and Beyond! The Perfect Finish To Your Quilt

June 12, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm CDT
$49.00

Join me as you learn the many options available to you to finish your quilts with style!

We will start with the basics of trimming your quilt top and preparing your binding strips (Both straight of grain and bias!).  We will also learn how to turn corners to create those perfect mitered corners on your  binding.  And how you can join your starting point and ending point for a no lump perfect finish!

Then we will explore multiple ways of binding your quilts that can bring a decorative element to the edge of your quilt.  Methods include:

  • Using your backing to bind your quilts.
  • Using cording to create a decorative element on your binding edge.
  • Flat fold piping as a decorative element on the edge of your quilt.
  • Using Lace & Rick Rack on the edge of your binding.
  • Using Striped fabrics for bindings – different looks you can achieve just by how you cut your binding strips.
  • Rounding corners on your quilt.
  • Scalloped edges on your quilt.
  • Making and adding Prairie Points to your quilt binding edge.
  • Adding Ruffles to your quilt edge.

So many ways you can take even a simple quilt to WOW!  Join me in this two session series.

Saturday June 12 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM CDT

I really appreciated the detailed instructions!

One of the most helpful classes I’ve taken.  Great instructions, both written and verbal,  made it easy to follow along. I never felt lost.

Your Presentation Change my Mind!

Kathy. I So loved your time with us at the Greater San Antonio Quilt Guild. I was one of those quilters who said I would never do quilts like these. You definitely changed my mind! You and your quilts are
