Savannah Pointe Purse

A Kim Boyles Original Design

Wow!  Prairie Points are making a big come back. I have developed a purse that is not only easy to make but gives you the opportunity to express your personality in the fabrics you choose.  This is the perfect project for a layer cake or charm packs.  I love a pocket for everything so when I designed this purse, I added lots of pockets to the lining.  A place for your cell phone, credit cards, a zippered pocket for security, plus 3 open pockets to stash receipts, etc.  In this 6 hour workshop, I will show you step by step how to create the outside panel.  You will make the lining with all its pockets and go home knowing how to finish the purse in a jiffy.  This is a 6 hour workshop.  Supply list available upon request.

Piping Hot Binding

  Susan Cleveland has developed the perfect tool and technique for beautiful piped bindings on your quilt.  Not only do they add spark to your quilt, once you use this technique you will never go back to whatever you do now.  Students will do a hands on practice piece where they will prepare the quilt block, make the piping and apply them for perfect results.  Mitering corners has never been easier. Step by step demos will be demonstrated allowing everyone to follow along.  Samples of the variations that Susan talks about in her book will be demonstrated and samples shown.  This is a 6 hour workshop.  Supply list available upon request. 

Serger Overlay Gown

  Soft cotton batiste or other fabric and basic serger techniques are the ingredients for this sweet confection of a nightgown.  A yoke overlay starts with a center panel.  Add lace insertion, ribbon or embroidered insertions to create fabric styled to your desires.  Rolled hem serger pin tucks are worked in rayon thread to border the center panel; the neck, sleeveless armholes, and yoke overlay are edged in lace.  The softly gathered waltz-length skirt is tucked across the bottom and finished with lace edging if desired.  This gown can be a great heirloom project and you would never believe how easy it is to complete on your serger.    Sizes available S-3XL. This is a 6 hour workshop.  Supply list available upon request.

Piping Hot Curves- Eye of the Piper

  Susan Cleveland's Piping Hot Curves book shows how to add curves to your quilt without curved piecing. This workshop will take you step by step in creating the 25" X 30" Eye of the Piper quilt featured in her book.  Students will learn how to create perfect piping with the Piping Hot Binding tool then how to use the piping to add pizzazz to this quilt.  The look of the quilt varies greatly depending on your selection of fabrics.  Choose the color and styles that match your decor or mood.  I promise you will want more than one when you learn how great this technique works.  This is a 6 hour workshop.  Supply list available upon request.

Cover Stitch Tote

 This fun bag shows off coordinating fabric with inserts at the bottom, across the top of the pockets, and along the center of the straps.  Side panels provide double pockets for hidden storage inside and out, and one of them is the perfect size for a cell phone or glasses.  There is also a key loop on the inside created with the bias binder attachment.    The sections are all cover stitched in place.   This is a perfect project to learn all about using the cover stitch on your serger  This is an 8 hour workshop.  Supply list available upon request.
