This is made from all wool materials including the embroidery. This is a 6 hour class which includes the patterns for the birds, background and embroidery. I also teach how to make the free motion embroidered leaves for the branches.

	Scheduled Programs and Lectures I have some fun things planned for this fall. I will be speaking at the Gazebo Quilter's Guild in Huntley, IL. on September 9th where I will do a trunk show in the morning and then a wool applique class in the afternoon. I have been chosen to do 2 demos for Quilt Expo in Madison, WI. on September 11th and 13th. My topic will be "Free Motion Embroidery". (this is a technique I have developed for making embellishments for my quilts) I will be one of the featured artists for "Quilt Fest" at Ben Franklin in Oconomowoc, WI. and will be doing a demo on Sunday October 5th on "Free Motion Embroidery". I will have about 20 of my quilts on display at the store during this "Quilt Fest" weekend October 4th & 5th. I will do a trunk show for the Rock Valley Quilter's Guild on October 21st in Janesville, WI. I will be one of four featured artists for the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts. Some of my quilts will be hung in the Museum farmhouse from October until Christmas time. I love doing programs and workshops. If you are interested in my speaking at your guild please contact me. I look forward to meeting you. Roberta

	Flowers to Fabric In this class I teach you how to take a digital picture and convert it to a fabric wall hanging. You will learn how to use your printer to make a pattern, select the fabrics, create the picture and quilt the finished product. You may use your own picture or I will gladly share a garden picture with you. I bring my printer to class for students to use.

Let's Fly Together

I recently taught this class in New Glarus, Wisconsin at a retreat. The birds and flowers are fused on a teflon cloth and then transfered to the quilt background. The quilt is 30 x 25, Some little pieces but very manageable.
