Lectures and Workshops for your group

Part lecture and part trunk show, this fun talk tells my journey from Canada to Korea and back again.  While in Korea, I studied the ancient art of Pojagi, Korean patchwork.  Back in Canada, however, the Korean materials are more difficult to find, so I adapted pojagi techniques to readily-available western materials with some great results.

This presentation is a full introduction into reversible patchwork. It includes a demonstration of how to sew a reversible patchwork seam, ideas for when to use it and a trunk show of sample pieces that use this seam.

Samples include window hangings and curtains, table linens, upcycled blankets, clothing and more. Although technically not quilts, they are beautiful and fun patchwork projects.

Quilts don’t have to be complex and difficult to be beautiful. This trunk show will give inspiration for making quilts for everyday use. You will learn how to consider fabric, piecing, quilting and embellishments and combine them to make your own beautiful quilts. Even if you’re short on time you can make something beautiful.

What would you do if you had to finish a quilt project every month?

That was my experience when I was an Island Batik Ambassador. In this trunk show, you will see the challenges I was given and what I did to complete them. You are sure to be inspired and get lots of ideas for your own projects.

Use fat quarters or 8″ x 10″ pieces of batik to create a one-of-a-kind pojagi project.

In this class you will earn two different methods of pojagi seams and when to use them. If you struggle with getting started with improv piecing, working in a group will get you going, Once you start, you won’t be able to make just one – you will want to experiment with different colours and arrangements.

Finished size: 20″ x 30″, but can be easily personalized

This is a five hour workshop.

In this class, I will step you through making the Glimmer modern pojagi window hanging. This pattern uses batik fat quarters to give a stained glass effect.
