Amy is a quilt artist and instructo
from Morrisville, NC, who doesn
measure, doesnt make template
avoids matching corners, never
plans ahead, and usually fudges t
rules. In many of her quilts, freemotion quilting made of cursive
writing tells stories and message
all over the quilt.
Workshop: Intermediate Level.
Create whimsical houses using n
rulers or patterns while you learn
do curved piecing. Each house w
be cut freehand with gentle curv
using your rotary cutter.
Our
Charity
Quilt Workshops continue eachmonth, meeting on the last Tuesday at
Miss Lous. We continue to have good
participation and are grateful for every-
ones commitment.
Thanks to Georgia for donating her
winnings of fat quarters to our charity
efforts, to Patty for batting, and to
Sarah for preparing a label for our char-
ity quilts.
