Lectures & Trunk Shows

Laureen has always loved sew and tell! She would love to sew and tell with your Quilt Guild in the form of a Lecture, Trunk Show, or Workshop. 

Defy Quilting Gravity, A Fun and Fabulous Way to Level Up Your Quilts! 

Are your quilts feeling a bit flat? Do you have fun experimenting with new techniques? This Zoom lecture is designed to

1. Break the quilting habits

2. Showcase different techniques

3. Plan your next quilting adventure

We will explore how and when to add those extra elements to your quilt. Build your confidence with little tweaks and little projects to watch your quilting ability flourish.

Let’s get together and take your quilts to the next level.

Eye Popping Panels

Panels are easy to purchase — and surprisingly hard to finish.

You’ve made plenty of quilts from patterns.
But when it comes to panels, many quilters get stuck figuring out how to design around them.

You bought the panel because it caught your eye.
Then comes the pause.

How big should the quilt be?
How should the panel be framed?
What fabrics should you use?
Where can you add interest without overdoing it?

That middle step — deciding what the panel wants next — is where projects stall.

In Eye-Popping Panels, I show you how to listen to the panel and work through those decisions so the design feels intentional, not overwhelming. I share practical ways to frame panels, choose supporting fabrics, and add structure and detail without competing with the panel itself.

This lecture is about getting past the hesitation —
so, the panel doesn’t stay folded in a drawer, waiting for someday.

My Metamorphosis

From engineer to artist… 

From following patterns to writing them….

From frames to fantastic…

Every quilter has a journey. We make mistakes and masterpieces. Quilting is our passion, our outlet, our gift to ourselves and others.  

I would love to share my story with you.
