Are you ready to party?

Have you reserved your spot at the Sewing Party? It’s happening tomorrow, November 8! You can learn to make my Woven Waves Table Runner and take 30 other classes at this first-ever online sewing convention, all for one registration fee.

Any idea where I got the inspiration for the runner design? All will be revealed in class, but leave your guess in the comments!

Also in class, I’ll walk you through all the steps of designing and making your own one-of-a-kind version of this bias-tape appliqué runner. You’ll get a handout with all the cutting info too, so you don’t have to be scribbling notes down while the class is running, and you’ll be able to rewatch the presentation for 90 days in case you want to review anything. That also means you can view all the classes even if you can’t make it tomorrow—or if you’re busy watching one of the other classes scheduled at the same time.

Of course, the benefit of taking the class when scheduled is that you can ask questions in the live chat and I’ll be there to help you along! I hope you’ll stop by and join the fun.

online at The Sewing Party!

Design your own patchwork-topped ottoman

You might remember the hexagon pouf ottoman I designed for Stitch a while back…the main challenge of putting it together was working out all the dimensions to get it to fit together. If you wanted to change the size, you were on your own—until now! On June 19, I’ll be presenting a webinar that walks you through all the details of how to plan and make a custom version of the ottoman, sized however you like. I’ve brushed up on geometry equations so you don’t have to!

You’ll also learn how to use striped fabrics to easily create patchwork patterns like the hexagon on the top of the ottoman. Plus, you’ll get other other fun ideas for incorporating patchwork into home-décor sewing projects and enhancing those projects with details like button tufting. I hope you’ll join me!

The webinar happens Wednesday, June 19, 2013, at 4:30 pm ET (1:30 pm if you’re out here on the west coast with me, or sometime in between if you’re somewhere in between), and a recording will be available for registered viewers after the live webcast if the time doesn’t work for you. Get more details from Sew Daily, or register now!

By the way, Feed Dog Designs finally has a Facebook page, so drop by and say hi over there! If you live in Facebook, you can get all my blog updates there too.

Join me at Sew Many Quilts in May

I’ll be teaching my Peacocks on Parade quilt pattern at Sew Many Quilts in Tracy, CA, in May, and shop owner Colette has started putting together YouTube videos to show what the classes are all about. Isn’t that a great idea?!

If you’re nearby, I hope you’ll sign up to join us at the class on May 19! I’m really looking forward to seeing how other quilters interpret the pattern.
