Three Dimensional Flowers
Coleen Walters
February 28, 2026
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Class Level: All
This is a technique class. You will be making several different fabric origami flower blossoms. I will provide you with patterns and directions for 9 different flowers (Daffodil, Wild Begonia, Columbine, Dogtooth Violet, Dogwood, Snowdrop, Fountain Plant, Orchid, & Corn Flower). You will then be able to design your own wall hanging, quilt, table runner, table mat, mug rug, etc. This is your chance to play and design something original.
Patterns come from Kumiko Sudo’s books “Fantasies & Flowers” (1999) and “Fabled Flowers” (1996). Both books are out of print, however you may find them on eBay or Amazon if you want copies.
“My first quilting experience was helping my mother make a quilt to raise money for our church when I was 10 years old. The next quilt I did alone. Quilting became a passion. I do not have an art background, but I love to play with fabric. I have been teaching sewing and quilting to children in 4-H for over 39 years. After retirement I started teaching quilting to adults in a local quilt store. I love to share what I have learned.” Coleen Walter

Re - A Modular FPP Workshop
Giuce Giuce
March 26, 2026
9:00 AM - 3:30 PM
Class Level: All
Workshop Description
Join us for this workshop featuring Giucy Giuce's pattern RE. Currently the pattern is only available through the workshop. Re is a modular pattern in which the sewist decides what size blades (from 3 choices) they would like to use and also the frequency in which the blades appear. Make the blades the same size, make them all different, leave spaces. This creates countless variations! Giucy Giuce will share his tips and tricks for best practices when foundation paper piecing and sewing curves.
A supply list will be available closer to the class.
