We're getting so close now to the start of Road to California this year, and I can't wait to share more about some of the classes I'll be teaching. We're also giving away a FREE seat in each of our classes this week (12/21/20 to 12/28/20), so make sure you don't skip over how to win one of those spots for yourself!
Road to California is going to look a little different as it will be held virtually, and be called Road @ Home. Though we would have loved to see you in person, there are some perks to gathering virtually. Not only will you save money on travel and hotel costs, but that leaves you with more money for all the fun stuff! You also won’t need to pack up and travel with your studio, or worry about forgetting anything. You’ll get to work comfortably from your own creative space.
All classes will be recorded and posted online so that you can access for a limited time. You’ll get to go at your own pace and don’t have to worry about missing a step or moving through a technique too quickly. You will also get to contact me directly with any questions, concerns or just to share your creations with me.
Let's take a look at what my classes will cover!
Little Succulent Garden Pillows
Wednesday, January 20th. 8am - 4:30pm pst
These are like potato chips - you can't make just one!
Come and join Heidi as she walks you through making a beautiful Dimensional Little Succulent pillow. The pattern includes three sizes and an assortment of petal shapes to select from. For the first half of class, we'll make the petals for the pillow, and in the second half of the class we'll focus on assembling the pillow top.
Rippling Waves Quilt
Saturday, January 23. 8am - 4:30pm PST
How many projects with curves have you passed up only because it involves sewing curves? This class is to help you learn to cut and sew curves quickly and easily! You'll never pass up a curved project again. This project also has cats cradle blocks and can be made with Creative Grids Cats Cradle ruler, that takes the need for bias triangles completely out of the process. Each block is made from rectangles and squares. In this class we will spend the first half cutting out several curved blocks and go over the traditional and ruler method for the Cats Cradle blocks. The second half of the class we will sew our curves and blocks together.
