Ann Peterson - Quilt As Desired
http://obsessivequilter.weebly.com/
April 5 Lecture and Trunk Show
So just what is "Quilt as Desired?" How do you know what you desire on a quilt? Ann will do a show and tell of some of her quilts and talk about the thought process for why she chose to quilt them as she did.
Ann quilts her award winning pieces exclusively on a standard domestic machine. They have been featured in numerous quilt publications and winning awards since 2002. Her latest adventure is teaching on-line for craftsy.com where she currently has five classes.
Wednesday April 6 Demo Workshop with Ann Petersen
Big Projects on a Small Machine - More Ways to Quilt a Big Quilt
All of Ann’s prize winning quilts have been quilted on a standard size domestic sewing machine. If you want to learn from an expert how to handle a large quilt on a small machine, Ann’s demo is for you.
Ann will show four different ways to break a large quilt into pieces that are easier to handle than the entire piece, how to split the quilt top into three or more pieces and then rejoin, how to split the batting, how to do a block by block quilting method and the medallion method. Learn how to baste to minimize tucks and wrinkles on the back, the best order for quilting, and how to physically handle a large quilt. Lots of time will be provided for questions and answers.
Time: 9:30am – 3:30pm
Cost: $45 members, $50 non-members
Location: United Church of Colchester
