Workshops
Workshops are offered virtually at this time for Quilt Guilds. This saves time and money for both the client and Laureen. In addition, students are in their own studios with access to their supplies without lugging them to a central location. We make every effort to engage with students as we would in a classroom and encourage interaction during the class.

Floral Fancy (6-hour workshop)
Transform your quilts with this three-dimensional fusible applique technique. During this 6-hour class, you will learn to
- Quilt the background,
- Make the templates and appliques,
- Attach the appliques, and
- Embellish the mini quilt to make it really pop.
There are sixteen patterns to choose from. Pick the pattern that fits your style, skill level and/or intricacy. Once you learn the technique, join us for some fun with larger projects.
You will receive a video link for the embellishment for the pattern you pick!
Kits are available, which include all the materials except thread for sewing/quilting. Embellishment packs are also available.
Whimsy – Wheels without Curves (6-hour workshop)
Select a pattern from our Whimsy collection and learn how to make this signature style quilt without curved piecing. This 6-hour workshop can be offered in two 3-hour sessions. The first session reveals the secret of piecing the center medallion. The second session covers the addition of fusible applique to add character to the quilt. The finished quilt measures 48″ square, which is perfect for a wall hanging or table topper.
Supplies are listed in the pattern required for the class. The pattern will be emailed after registration. You can purchase the kit here.
