of project on your sit down or domestic sewing machine. Your instructor uses
a process she developed and coined “Quilting Calesthenics”: a method that
uses simple and familiar movements to teach control of your hands, fabric
and machine. This is a great and fast way to start free motion quilting!
By the end of the day you will have not only head knowledge but hands-on
experience to go home and enjoy building your free motion skills with simple
filler designs, flowers and even leaves.Find me on Facebook at Penny Olive,

MORE Free Motion Quilting! by Penny Olive $50
A class for quilters who desire to master their free motion quilting skills.
This is NOT an advanced class for students who have “conquered” free motion
quilting, but rather an extension of my Basic Free Motion Quilting class,
which should have already been completed. We will simply be learning “MORE”
free motion quilting. You will learn my three keys to More Free Motion
Quilting, new quilting designs, , all over quilting designs, sashing and
border designs, modern designs, block specific designs, background fills
and grid work.. You will receive five hours of more free motion quilting
instruction and hands on practice time. The last 30-45 minutes is what
everyone awaits: bring that unfinished quilt top and join Penny and your
fellow students in brainstorming free motion quilting designs and thread
selection for that quilt you just “don’t know how to quilt”!

make it your own with changes that fit your style. We'll learn the background of
whole cloth quilts, Look at completed projects and learn several ways to design
your own. The project itself will consist of drawing the main designs on your own
or using my prepared template with a light box. We'll review all the designs used,
allow time for practice and then set off to complete our project. This is a fabulously
fun event! Most students go home with a completed project minus binding!

Ruler Work Class by Penny Olive $50
This class will be fun! The quilting industry has been flooded with all types of rulers/
templates so to keep your cost low, I will be bringing every ruler I have for you to try
using. I have plenty of straight and curved rulers as well as several specialty rulers.
However, if you have your own rulers/templates, please bring those so you can experiment
with, and learn to use, what you personally own. No ruler purchase will be required for
this class though several will be available for optional purchase. Those will be the
ones I consider my “favorites” and most useful in my quilting. The focus of this class
is the use of rulers with your domestic sewing machine. However, most of the information
in this class is transferrable to your sit down or longarm machine. Here is a synopsis
of what will be covered during your full and fun day of quilting:
●Using rulers / templates on a domestic machine
-Why is a ruler foot needed and the difference between high and low shanks
●How to use rulers and experimenting with using them
●Instruction on, and practice with, using rulers in different ways for quilting blocks,
border and specialty designs (we will be focusing on using straight and curved rulers)
Because using rulers is still done with free motion , it is preferred that students
have done some free motion quilting or have taken the Basic Free Motion Quilting class
taught by Penny Olive.

during the class receive a 10% discount. Most supplies (except fabric
