Hawaiian Quilt
Hawaiian Appliqué Class with Connie
Johnson Sayler
Hawaiian quilts are visually amazing and
look complex but are very easy to make. I
learned to make Hawaiian quilts from
Nancy Lee Chong in 2008 and have
become hopelessly addicted, so much so
that I purchased Pacific Rim Quilt
Company.
2 Day Workshop:
In this 2 day class you will be able to
choose your favorite Pacific Rim Quilt
Company Hawaiian wall quilt pattern. You will have hands on
experience cutting and basting your quilt. Then you will learn
needleturn appliqué techniques on a practice piece or on your quilt if
you choose. We will have time to discuss the next steps, quilting and
finishing your wall hanging.
All skill levels welcome. No machines needed!

Crazy Quilt
I hope you will join me in the wonderfully creative adventure of crazy quilting. I have found crazy quilting to be a great way to tell a story so when you are planning your block for this class, I’d like you think about what you might say. It might represent a certain person i.e., your mother, your family, a place, your favorite hobby (like quilting), your love of the sea or shore, or even your favorite book. This is an opportunity for you to make something to leave behind. We will spend some time documenting your story as well. So come join me in creating something beautiful as well as meaningful!
