What's New...

Ok, technically this is old news, but just in case you missed it when in came out in Spring, 2009: I have a book in print with my name on the front cover this time! (As opposed to my name in teeny-tiny print on the inside when I worked as editor or illustrator.) You can order the book and the set of TRIMplates directly from C & T Publishing, or get a signed copy from me! (email me)

Teachers, this makes a great class. You get to teach a new hands-on technique with a really unique set of tools: the TRIMplates. TRIMplates are not templates! This is something really different and new. Students really like to learn from demonstrations, and my trim-after-you-sew method gives a great sense of satisfaction because the pieced units come out so exact with little fuss. Plus, there are many opportunities for design exploration, so you can target advanced quilters as well as those who are just learning piecing skills beyond the basics. Shop owners: you have the opportunity to sell books and TRIMplates, and offer classes. Of course, I'll consider coming to your shop to teach, but the teachers you already have working for you can do a great job just by following the book. Contact me about a handout for a class project.

If you would like a chuckle, click on the link below to see me doing a video demonstration of my TRIMplate tools on C&T's website: Go to C&T And... if you are considering hiring me to teach a class, please believe me that I am better in person!!
