About the Artist
I call myself the “Wackydoodle Quilter” due to my easy-going, whimsical style. In quilting I don’t always follow the rules and tend to ignore the “Quilting Police “.My work gravitates towards animals, nature scenes, and bright colors. My techniques include and blend: fabric collage, free form art quilts, raw-edge applique, as well as many others. I Have a passion for entering quilt challenges. These spark my imagination and inspire me.
I have been quilting since 1993, and have received awards and recognitions for my quilts in various shows and the California State Fair. I was chosen as the “Featured Artist” the River City Quilters’ Guild 2018 show “Window of Imagination” because of my creativity as a quilter.
It is my dream to inspire you to have fun and learn what you can create. In order to do that I started workshops in 2010. You can check out her lectures and workshops on her “Teaching” page, https://www.thewackydoodlequilter.com/teaching.html
Take It To The Next Level – Lecture
Follow my journey into whimsy. Get ready for a fun-filled trip. Take a look at how you can make your fabric panels and UFO’s shine! Different trims and embellishments can become other objects depending on how they’re used. Anything goes!
Take It To The Next Level – Workshop
Jump into the world of embellishments! Create a small undersea garden wall hanging and learn different ways to make your fabrics, trims and doodads come to life. Try some new techniques. Just relax and create your ideal coral reef.
Note: Students need to have a background sandwiched with batting and backing. $25.00 kit fee per student payable to the instructor at class.
