Come play with color and build your own whimsical sheer garden or decorative coasters! Create a quirky sheer flower scene with layers of color, then embellish with the easiest free-motion you’ll ever do. Add leaves, stems, and even beaded centers if you wish. The fun is in the unexpected results that come from playing with layers of sheer color to build your own colorful creation. No formal color theory or training required, just bring your inner child.

Ruler work is a great way to get accurate results with less marking, and it’s fun! This class is an ideal way to try this technique without a large investment in rulers; you only need one. Jenny will show you ways to incorporate straight line ruler work into your quilts. The class includes a kit with a pre-printed panel (markings wash out!) and a unique ruler that makes straight line ruler work virtually foolproof. This is a great class for a newer Free-Motion quilter, as ruler work simplifies the process.
