Any of Simple Pleasures' designs may be taught as a project for your class or workshop. You are welcome to choose any design from our pattern range or from my books Garden Party - Applique Quilts that Bloom or Tea in the Garden, Quilts for a Summer Afternoon, both published by Martingale and Company. I would also be happy to recommend a design that may be the most suitable for your group's particular time frame, skill level, and needs.
In all of the workshops, we will explore the areas of rotary cutting, elements of piecing, and applique. Both fusible and traditional applique techniques may be taught and, if applicable, the possible use of embellishments, such as threads, buttons, beads, etc. to make your quilte both special and unique.
In addition to classes featuring our designs, I also teach a three-hour workshop on "Fine Hand Quilting."
Lectures and Trunk Shows are also popular, and we offer four:
Even the simplest, easiest applique and embellishment techniques can produce beautiful quilts. Join Cynthia as she gives you tips and techniques that will make your quilts fast, fun, and extra special! This lecture/trunk show features all of the designs in her book, published by Martingale & Company.
Just like fresh-baked muffins and a calming cup of tea, these quilts are filled with homemade-goodness and they are bursting with blooms! This lecture/trunk show features all of the designs in the book published by Martingale and Company. Again lots of tips and techniques are given.
An informative and sometimes humorous talk filled with stories and lots of quilts. You will hear the trials, tribulations, and cherished moments that inspired Simple Pleasures' designs.
A 1 ½ hour talk on the customs and traditions of the Arabian woman. Experience the sights, sounds, scents, and tastes of desert life. For a short time, walk in her shoes. A truly unique experience!
This lecture is a wonderful addition to the 2-day workshop which we offer on PN 203 - Shifting Sands, or just a great addition to any of the other workshops.
