Workshops |
| A New Look at Applique! - Machine applique is so
much more than a satin stitch. Ann will show you 6 ways to appliqué, some new and some old. Even if you don't
like applique, one method or a combination of methods might appeal to you. Give it a try. |
| Beaded Landscapes - Learn the basics of hand
beading in this full day workshop. It is fun and relaxing, and adds a little sparkle to the surface of
your quilt or to a garment. A small beaded landscape, 8.5 x 11 inches, will be the project made during the
class. |
| Black-Eyed Susans - Stitch a wallhanging filled with embroidered
black-eyed susans in this two day workshop. Learn Ann's methods of design, fusing, applique and free motion embroidery. The
class project is based on themes from Ann's prize winning quilts. |
| Dancing on Your Quilt - The process of quilting
can be one of the most satisfying parts of making a quilt. Try a more free-spirited approach to your quilting,
using Ann's new book Dancing with Thread as a guide. This is a two day or longer workshop for quilters wanting to try a more spontaneous approach to their machine quilting. |
| Highlights of Dancing on Your Quilt - Machine quilting
can add interest, texture and color to the surface of a quilt. It can be so much more than stitching in
the seamlines or straight lines! Ann Fahl's quilts come to life when they are quilted. Learn how it's done
in this full day workshop. |

introductory course appropriate for any quilter wanting to explore machine sewing with the feed dogs down.

garden. |
