Weekend Workshop Warrier - Do you FMQ ?

Just back from a really great time with the Wiltwyck Quilter's Guild in Kingston, NY and I'm heading out the door for
an amazing Weekend of Workshops
in Arcade, NY.   

I'm looking forward to spending time with the lovely ladies at Creekside Fabrics, Quilts and Yarns and the 35+ patrons that have signed up for my Workshops -- Yippee!!  
Here's the lineup:

Friday Daytime -- We'll be learning FMQ Basics -- an Introductory class for those just learning to Free Motion Quilt on their home machines.
Friday Evening join us for a World of Susybee Trunk Show!

I've been busy quilting these lovely whimsical Play Mats and Growth Charts (some of which I'll be sharing at Spring Quilt Market in Salt Lake City -- can't wait) but....
 in addition to my collection of goodies we're teaming with Glynis from World of Susybee to see 30+ more samples.

Infant bedding, quilts, play mats, growth charts, animals, pillows, and
---- Inspiration Galore!
No Fee -- just donate a bag or box of diapers to a good cause.
Saturday - we're quilting the Lewe or Lal Play Mat by World of Susybee on our domestic machines. Panel play is an awesome way to hone your FMQ skills...


I'm really excited about the final Workshop of the Weekend.  On Sunday I'll be sharing Free Motion Quilting Basics using The QP Curve Templates by Linda Hrcka of The Quilted Pineapple.
I even created a new sample.
I used the #15 and #12 QP Curve Templates along side the brand new QP Edge to create this 18" x 25" table runner.   Sew much fun!
All Quilt Samples were quilted with
Aurifil Thread and
using Quilters Dream Batting...
