Accidental Landscape: Beaches, #37528
Create miniature beach seascapes using Karen’s “Layered Curves” technique. Second in the Accidental Landscape pattern series, these little beach scenes are quick and easy to make, no templates, no fuss – just free form rotary cutting and topstitched edges. The results are always a pleasant surprise. For additional texture, learn how to embellish your little beach scene with lace, yarns, and beads. Finished size is approx. 8" x 12" (not including borders).

Enjoy a Twist on the Classic Log Cabin Block, #37520
Let’s start with the traditional Log Cabin block and feature a fun image in the center instead of the classic red square. Select a large print and some lights and darks to coordinate with it and you are on your way to building some very sassy blocks with topstitched curves and perky little triangles. Five log blocks make a great table runner and four blocks are perfect for a table topper or bag. If you want to make a large quilt, bring more fabric and continue making blocks.

Free-Form Color Twists on the Home Machine, #37515
Ease into gentle free-form topstitched curves in this technique and design workshop. You will make a few Color Twists. Then experiment with different combinations to see which design layouts appeal best to you for making your choice of a wallhanging, table runner, table topper, bag, or the beginnings of a quilt top.

Mountain View Quilt Using TopStitch Technique, #37514
“Mountain Views” is a surprisingly simple quilted scene using Karen’s layered topstitching technique. Gentle rolling hills of green fabric strips combine with distant peaks to create peaceful vistas. Include a lake or a field of wildflowers. The variations are endless! You will also learn how to embellish the landscape with beads, yarn, and Angelina fibers to give it sparkle. Finished size is approx. 9" x 12" without borders (size varies!!!!)

Wiggles & Waves, #37509
Learn how to “go with the flow” and find out how relaxing free-form cutting and topstitching can be! You will create a piece of fabric with dramatic curves and angles. Karen will show you how to use your beautiful “Wiggles & Waves” fabric in traditional and contemporary quilts, impressive borders, eye-catching wearables, background for appliqué, and much, much more!
