Programs, Workshops, and Patterns

As I delve deeper into my quilty self, I find that it is somewhat of a calling to share what I have learned with others. So, I started offering Programs and Workshops to Guilds and Quiltshops in 2018. Please email me at djps1957@gmail.com for pricing and more information.

Programs

• Conversation with a UFO Queen

I have learned enough about myself to know that I love to start new projects. The trouble is that I don't finish them as quickly as I start them. So, I have tons of UFOs (UnFinished Objects). Join me as I visit some of my UFOs, try to stay focused on WIP (Works in Progress), and generally keep things moving forward when you have over a hundred UFOs.  

• Confessions of a Sassy Stripper - How Many Things Can I Make From a Jelly Roll Strip? 

As the club facilitator and head Stripper of Mea Bernina and Babylock's Sassy Strippers, I have had the fun challenge of coming up with monthly projects that use Jelly Roll Strips. One can only make so many jelly roll race quilts - then what? Join me in my journey of discovery of all the things you can make from Jelly Roll Strips. 

• Hello, I'm Denise, and I'm a BOM Addict

It seems so Do-able when they tease you with those Block of the Month projects. Who can't complete a block in a month? It's so easy - that is until you're sucked in to 6 BOMs at a time! 

• How I Became Quiltworx Crazy - (in other words, a Judy Niemeyer Junkie)

I was hooked as soon as I started my first Quiltworx quilt - Vintage Rose. Now I can't stop. Learn about what makes Quiltworx quilts so different, do-able and dare I say it - addictive.
