Stitch with Carol

Stitch with Carol

Classes; Welcome.This is a class with tuition provided for you to create designs made by myself,  Carol Roberts of Cherry Pie Designs. You are welcome to join me to make projects using the techniques below. Through out the year I hope also to offer specialized workshops.

I am a lover of reproduction fabrics and quilts, in particular one block quilts. There is such peaceful simplicity in these quilts.  I have been quilting and creating for over 20 years and offer a range of techniques that I have been using successfully to create my projects during this time. The sewing machine is in use at some point during my quilt making but I do prefer the peace of American hand piecing.

• American Hand Piecing. ..projects eg; Little Stars, Little spools, Emmaline
• Needle turn applique using freezer paper is  a method that provides great results for me too.
• English Paper Piecing with fussy cutting tuition is also available… projects; “Garden Delights”, “Turkish Delight”
• Foundation paper piecing is something I have been working with of late….it really isn’t that hard! Project;….. “Pineapple” block needle book/ small quilt, or quilt pattern “Twinkle”
• Combination patterns; these combine multiple techniques of needle turn applique, EPP, AHP and machine piecing ….. “Chatsworth” , “Charlotte” or “Sunbursts”

Felted wool applique with embroidery  has always been a technique I also enjoy and I will be looking at this as a workshop opportunity later in the year.
