It's been awhile since we have posted anything. Lots of things have changed. My husband and I both still quilt! I am now a Certified Instructor with Studio 180 Design. I met Deb Tucker at Quilt Market in Salt Lake City, UT and fell in love with her tools and patterns. Plus, I've created some of my own patterns using her tools.
I currently teach a Block of Month class at Stitches N Such in Glendale, OH. This class is a one block lecture/demo. Then about 2 weeks later, I offer a companion class that goes with the tool or Texhnique Sheet we learned at BOM and helps solidify how to use the tools and technique sheets.
We are starting a Tucker University class also at Stitches N Such on Thursday, September 28, and Saturday, September 30, 2017. These will be monthly 3 hour sit and sew classes. These classes focus on building your skills using the Studio 180 Design (DebTucker) tools and technique sheets. You will be making 4" units in each class, with options as to how you want to put them together into finished blocks.
Plus, I was selected as one of the Certified Instructors to teach at the first ever Studio 180 Academy. Be sure to go to the website: www.studio180academy.com to check out all the classes being offered. It'll be in Hamilton, NY from 9/20-9/23, 2017. Enroll now! To get the classes you want to takes. Three full days of instruction with Deb Tucker's Certified Instructors, plus a special visit from Deb Tucker.
That's it for today. More to come!
My husband and I are award winning quilt makers. We offer long-arm quilting services; make custom quilts using patterns, or original designs as needed. We have made several T-shirt, photo and traditional quilts for customers. Quilting classes are also available. Hope you enjoy our blog!!!!

New Classes to begin
Starting in September, we have some great classes we are going to offer. We have 2 beginning quilt classes. There will be a fee for these 2 classes. You will learn basics on putting together a quilt from start to finish. These classes are 3 3 hour sessions.
We are also going to be offering FREE classes on using some specialty rulers that we have on hand to sell. There will be a pattern also available for purchase to complete projects using the different rulers. The classes will last between 1/2 hour to 3/4 hour depending on questions.
Classes for 2 hour time frames will also be available to get you started on one of the projects. A fee will apply.
Plus, we have a great idea for some Christmas ornaments to make painting your own fabric. The technique to show you how will be a FREE 1 hour long session. The supplies you need to make your own will be available for purchase.
Classes for this project will be 2 3 hour sessions and a fee will apply.
We also plan on starting two block of the month quilt projects. One will be for charity. The finished projects will be donated for a specific charity.
Ever wanted to make a round quilt, we have just the author who does a great job. We will be making the New York Beauty pattern using Cheryl Phillips book. Book will be available for purchase from us.
Want to put together an applique project. We have another great artist, Toni Whitney, whose patterns will be available from us. You will be able to choose which pattern you want to do and Tony will give instructions on this great technique. He used it in his "Never forget" quilt with the big eagle at the bottom of the quilt.
These are some of classes coming this fall. If interested in any of the above classes, please send us an email to catsquilting@yahoo.com for us to schedule your time. As I get the projects ready to go, the pictures will start to show up. Keep checking! In some cases, it will be an actual quilt that we have completed or a picture of the book/pattern that will be used for the class or demonstration.
