Workshop$45 20 Members Only (open to non-members after July meeting) Amy is a quilt artist and instructor from Morrisville, NC, who doesnt measure, doesnt make templates, avoids matching corners, never plans ahead, and usually fudges the rules. In many of her quilts, free motion quilting made of cursive writing tells stories and messages all over the quilt. Workshop: Intermediate Level. Create whimsical houses using no rulers or patterns while you learn to do curved piecing. Each house will be cut freehand with gentle curves using your rotary cutter.
