Lickety-Split Log Cabin

Half day or all day workshop featuring the new Log Cabin Trim Tool designed by Jean Ann and manufactured by Creative Grids. The tool enables quilters to create Log Cabin, Half Log Cabin and Courthouse Steps blocks by squaring up each round of logs as you go saving oodles of time in cutting and producing a perfect block every time.

Prickly Pineapple

Half or all day workshop featuring Jean Ann’s new Pineapple Trim Tool. The tool gives quilters a no-math, no-measure method to make a perfect Pineapple block every time, as quilters stitch, trim, and square up each round of strips as you go for quick and easy sewing.

Civil War Potholder – Table Runner

Discover this historic method of making a quilt block-by-block while you polish up your machine sewing skills. Half day or all day workshop.

Our ancestors made these blocks all by hand but we can duplicate them on our 21st century sewing machines. Mark your block with templates from the kitchen. Discover the fun of using a walking foot to quilt straight and curved lines. Stitch your binding both front and back on the sewing machine. Finish with a bonus demonstration on Jean Ann’s easy method to quilt-as-you-go then join your quilt together from blocks to border.

Circle of Nine

All Day Workshop – learn the hottest new setting that uses spacers, not sashings. This is a design technique developed by Jean Ann and her sister to create countless original quilt designs. Workshop taught at Houston Quilt Festival in 2011 and coming in 2012.
