Skill Builder: Little Things
Sometime the “little things” can make a big difference! This demonstration workshop covers fabric preparation, tools & equipment, rotary skill improvement, better sewing habits, pressing techniques, freezer paper, stress-reducing tips, border applications and finishing. Susie provides lots of information and does a number of specific demonstrations aimed at making quilting less stressful and fun by doing a few simple “little things” differently. Everyone needs to bring their rotary cutters, problem blocks, bad habits and questions.

Skill Builder: In-Between Things
Susie has worked up a new ‘things’ class jam-packed with tips and techniques relating to things that are between getting started (little things) and finishing up (big things). She shares methods to simplify the decision making process concerning sashing and border widths, block placement, color selection (and more) allowing you to explore design options and put your own personal stamp on your quilting projects.

Skill Builder: Block This!
'Blocking' is that often overlooked final step that puts the finishing touch on your quilt that can take it from looking “fine” to truly professional. Bring your quilt to the realm of
'square' (as in plumb) and 'flat' (as in picture on the wall) by adding this process to your quilting skills. A must if you're planning on entering a quilt in a show!
