I pride myself on writing very good handbooks for my classes and make these available to everyone whether they have taken a class from me or not.  I am offering two smaller CD's and three "Collections" CD's.  I felt it was more economical for you to purchase more information at less cost by offering groups of handbooks that complemented each other. All handbooks are saved in a pdf format.   

I update/rewrite my  handbooks each year so if you would like yearly updated handbooks to any purchased CD or workshop you have taken from me, there is an additional $10 charge to help cover my time.  This is paid for separately at the bottom of the page.

I will also be adding a NEW CD entitled "MY QUILTS HAVE STORIES TO TELL" which will be a wonderful book documenting my linen wholecloth quilts with photos and stories.  I will do a blog post when this is available for sale.

When a handbook is purchased I will send it to you electronically via email. You may download and save on your computer and/or print out and put in a binder. 

Once your handbook is purchased I have a number of supplements that I will send to you separately within 24 hours.  You get oodles of GREAT information!

This handbook provides all the detailed information I teach in my Open Thread Bar workshop.  It covers how to choose the proper needle, how to audition and choose your threads, tips on working with decorative threads, tips on mastering your top and bottom tension and how to balance decorative stitches.   Great handbook for any level of quilter.

In 2011 I condensed information from all of my handbooks into my Beginning Machine Quilting handbook.  It finally dawned on me that my beginning students needed ALL of the information...not just some of it!  I have created this "Collection CD" to include these handbooks and supplements:

"Beginning Machine Quilting";" Needles & Thread";" Pin & Straight Basting";" Beginner's Feathers";" Beginner's Backgrounds" ;" Beginning-Ending Quilting Lines";" Blocking Your Quilt";" Making Borders Fit";" My Favorite Things".

MY QUILTS HAVE STORIES TO TELL!
NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE...YET!!!

This CD has been waiting to be written for years and I am excited to put this together!  For those of you who have taken a workshop or been able to attend one of my trunk shows, you know that all my quilts have stories to tell.  Somebody told me recently that if anything ever happened to me all of these stories would be lost...I really needed to document these quilts...and she was right.  I am taking photos of nearly all of my linen wholecloth quilts and am documenting their stories. I have taken pictures of many of my quilts as they've been created and will be including pictures of that process as well.  There will be many quilts included that nobody has seen...I only bring a select few quilts with me when I travel.  This is a handbook that will definitely be updated every single year.  This will be available for sale a little later this year...I'm still working on it!

Whether you you purchase one handbook or all of them, you will receive newly updated handbooks in January of each year.  If you have been a student in one of my workshops you may have your class handbook updated each year too!  You need to let me know which workshops you have taken.
