Until further notice, the only two shops I will be offering in person classes from are Cedar Ridge in Oregon City and Sharon’s Attic in Aloha. Due to Covid restrictions, the other shops have largely suspended in-person classes until further notice.
I am currently offering online instruction on a one-to-one basis or to groups interested in arranging for a group class session. Most of my class offerings are adaptable to this format. I am also available for one-on-one mentoring and consultations for your projects. You can contact me at:

Among my most popular classes are those focusing on Landscape Quilts. I have found that the choice of suitable fabrics can be the factor that makes or breaks the quilt. Though I give a tutorial on selecting landscape fabrics part of my classes, it helps if a student has a preliminary concept of that process before coming to a class, particularly in the case of workshops where a student is restricted to only the fabrics they bring. To address this, I have created a downloadable fabric selection guide with examples of suitable fabrics for various landscape elements. The fabrics shown may no longer be available but they will provide an idea of the types of fabrics to look for.
