I have worked many years on wool applique and have lots of tricks and tips! I do my applique projects a bit differently than the wooly lady patterns and will be happy to share with you my experience. Wool Applique Classes are scheduled for Friday, June 22, Friday, July 13th or Friday, August 10th. Classes are from 10:30-2:30 and cost $20 plus your kit fee. You can chose any kit, or select the English Garden Candle Mat project. Pictured here...

Curved Piecing makes a quilt look complex! Truddi is an expert in this technique. She also has incredible color and design skills. This block would make a fabulous start to a larger quilt or just keep it as is for a wonderful table mat! This class is scheduled for Friday, July 27th , 10:30-3 pm and costs $40. You will make your own templates in class!

"Beauty Is You" designed by Cori Dantini for "Blend Fabric" a new company headed by Anna Griffin! There is a mixed media look to these fabrics with lots of text and sketchy graphics. The panel is a marvel!

Adorable. I am working on a quilt as we speak using this line! We just adore Lake House Drygoods fabrics.

We are doing a bit of remodeling and are pleased with the new look of the flannel room.

Andrew knocked out a closet and built a new fabric fixture to hold our beautiful bright flannels!

We have moved the wool and felt to the front show room to highlight Wooly Lady's gorgeous hand dyed wool and patterns.

We have several wool applique classes scheduled for the summer so check out our class calendar for June and July, Here.

Oh and we have more flowers on our class schedule...

Jess Vandenburgh will be here for several classes this summer. This is one of her newest patterns and she will be teaching how to make these fun flowers in July and August.

Andrew has reached new heights in long arm quilting check out his latest work...This alphabet quilt!

This is a pattern and fabric from Tula Pink. Before he even saw any of the modern quilting books, Andrew designed and quilted this free hand on our long arm. How long has he been long arm quilting? Less than one year!

Lots of negative space in this quilt...

Lower right hand corner. I am sewing the binding on this quilt and will have more pics asap.

On a final note...here is a favorite customer showing off her "Kaffe" quilt. Impressive indeed!

Stunning! I asked, "Who is this quilt for?" She answered, "ME!!"

Time to head home. Welcome to summer everyone! Hope to see you soon!
