Beginning Free Motion Quilting on your Home Machine
With Penny Olive
October 7, 2017 at Lickety Stitch Quilts in Lusk
We are very fortunate to have Penny Olive, a well-known and experienced instructor in free motion quilting, coming to our store to teach a class on Saturday, October 7, 2017.  Cost of the class is $80. Preregistration is necessary and seating is limited, so call 307-334-9963 to register soon if you are interested or if you have questions. Supply list will be provided on registration.

This hands-on class moves beyond information and involves students in LOTS of doodling and quilting, interspersed with valuable information and hints to help you complete quality quilts and learn the “ins and outs” of free motion quilting on your sewing machine. Learn control and some great quilt designs with “Quilting Calisthenics”, a method developed by the instructor that teaches control of our hands, fabric and machine while stitching designs that have been in our memory since childhood. A great and fast way to start free motion quilting! Then move to simple loops and add in some classic motifs.   Finally, take out the loops and add in flowers and leaves. By the end of the day you will have not only head knowledge but hands-on experience to go home and enjoy free motion quilting.

Class Structure:         9:30am setup, class starts promptly at 10-4pm on Saturday, October 7, with 1 hour for lunch and breaks as needed

                        

                 Instructor Info:    Penny Olive lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming; she has a love and passion for free

                motion quilting that she has developed over the past 10 years.   She began her free motion adventure on her domestic sewing machine(6” throat) and progressed in a short time to completing quilts from wall hangings to king size bed quilts for both herself and professionally.
