Workshops

With pay-as-you-go pricing and no contracts, we’re making learning accessible for everyone. We offer instruction, at all levels of experience, at our lake house on Cedar Lake in Cedar Lake, Indiana.  Our lakeside studio space is for the very intimate workshop, open sewing session and our one on one instruction. All one on one instruction has a charge of $45 for the first hour. Additional hours of instruction are available at $20 per hour, not to exceed six hours per day of instruction.

To Wool or Not to Wool Pennies

Using wool, or wool felt, the results are both beautiful. Learning Pennies is a fun, relaxing and a great “take a-long” project. You will learn to layer and basic stitches to get your pennies collection growing and later form into a design you choose. 

Improv Log Cabin Paper Piecing

A modern twist using a traditional Log Cabin block. Learn to paper piece while adding your own improv work to make your blocks unique. In the workshop you will make four 12” inch finished blocks. Using a jelly roll or 2 ½” inch strips and scraps are perfect for this project.

Binding Basics and More

In this workshop you will learn how to bind your quilts and add a little somethin somethin to the finishing touch. We will begin with cutting, joining strips and applying to your sample quilt. Samples will have you sewing binding by machine, adding rick rack, faux flange and two-color bindings! What a great way to add color and design to your quilt.

Improv Modern – From Block to Quilt

This workshop is great for anyone from Beginner to Seasoned Quilters. Judy will guide and inspire you to sew your pieces into a beautiful work of art.

Using Improv piecing to create your one-of-a-kind units, with no seam or points to match, makes this method stress free and fun. Using your scraps or planned fabrics, add a background color(s) and you will have a modern quilt that is your own style.

Choose solids, prints, batiks. Anything goes. Add a bold print or stripe if you like! No wrong choices here! This is a NON-Planned type piecing. Freedom from following patterns and instructions.

The Seasons of a Quilter Lecture /Trunk Show

If you are a Quilter, we can all agree that you had to start somewhere. Very few came into life with needle and thread in our hand at birth. We are fortunate enough to have found our craft, worked long hours learning techniques, and countless stitches of love in the making.

I will share my Beginning to Present journey and how the impact of color, style and methods have changed through the seasons. Yearly seasons, Life lessons, Found Object and more. All influence my making.
