blocks you can create a beautiful quilt....
and since it is constructed on batting and backing, it is done in half the time
and is completely reversible! Although
most of the quilt is constructed by machine, there is hand applique' used for
finishing touches.
Machine and rotary cutting experience is necessary.

About Judy
Judy Doenias came to
quilting as a second career, after working for 26 years for the
government.
She learned to hand piece in 1987, and two years later,
started teaching. As a math lover, quilting
appealed to her love of
geometry. As an avid knitter and needlepointer, she was also attracted
to
colorful fabrics and the satisfaction of handwork. Her first quilt
remains unfinished, but she discovered
a new obsession.
Judy’s work takes many forms. She has experimented with just about
every technique, and her
interests range from the most traditional
topics like English Paper Piecing, Sashiko and Dear Jane,
to such
contemporary topics as Colourwash, Tessellations and her own particular
fascination, Quilt As You Go.
Her innovations in this technique, in
which the blocks are pieced on a foundation of batting and backing
fabric,
allow her to make more quilts in less time. Not content with
basic patterns, Judy has gone on to adapt
designs like Drunkard’s Path,
New York Beauty, and Inlaid Appliqué to Quilt As You Go.
She puts her
unique stamp onto easy designs like Log Cabin and Rail Fence.
She is a member and past president of Empire Quilters, and a former member of Manhattan Quilters Guild.
Her teaching credits include many guilds, conferences, including Quilting By The Lake and
The Great American Quilt Festival, Sew Right's "Quilting by the Sea" as well as at the American Folk Art Museum.

For fabric lovers and scrap collectors - if you save every little piece of fabric and always
wondered why, this is the class for you! The technique is incredibly simple, even for beginners,
and the results are always stunning.
Whether you like old fashioned, scrappy quilts, or graphic, sophisticated art quilts,
you will LOVE String Quilting.
This class will introduce students to some of the basic techniques of String Quilting.
"Strings" are long, skinny leftover pieces from other projects, or new yardage cut into strips
of various widths. Strings should be no thinner than 1" wide, and no wider than 4".
They can be straight or irregular. I will show many examples of String Quilting and discuss
many ways you can use strings in your own work. Basic string sewing techniques will be
discussed and demonstrated, and each student will work on their own to begin their own
collection of string blocks.
Below is a sample of Diane's quilt using this technique! Place your mouse over it for another view.

Elaine is teaching this one day class as well as helping those who wish to
work on their own projects rather than taking a class. You can make her quilt and
use the rest of the time to either make a larger quilt or work on another project you bring with you.
The BQ Quilt
BQ is a fast, easy and Stress Free quilt with 18” blocks featuring off center 12” squares.
This project can be finished in one day (the top at least).
BQ is a great way to showcase large print fabrics or a number of different “special” fabrics.
BQ is offered in four sizes but if you plan to finish in one day the large lap
54” x 72” is recommended. You can purchase your pattern at Gurney’s or ahead of
time at Sew Right. The pattern is $8.00 with a discounted price of $6.00.
