Susan Jensen Workshops
Susan Jenson Fibre Artist, Teacher, Speaker will be presenting the following two workshops: Paints/Dyes/Inks and Mini-Scapes.
As a humble quilter who learned how to quilt in 1990 using other designer’s patterns to a pattern designer in her own right. In 2012 Sue found her true passion in the fibre art world. Using her needle skills and her stash, she creates landscapes pieces from her photographs she has taken.
In her classes, she hopes to inspire her students to look at nature with a whole new perspective, and, using what they learn in class, create their own masterpieces using what is in their stash!

QUICK Quilt As You Go Workshop
Presented by: The Workshops Committee headed by Carolyn Mulders
The workshops committee would like you to join us for our final workshop before the summer to participate in an informal workshop to learn a simple Quilt As You Go technique, in which you have a finished 42 x 59 quilt at the end of the class. This is an ideal class for beginner Quilters to learn a QAYG technique. We also welcome seasoned Quilters who would like to learn this fast and easy QAYG technique. This method can be used for a quick charity Quilt or for making a last minute baby quilt. We are looking forward to having you join us for this fun workshop!
