During her presentation, Candace shares how she got the idea to make each quilt; along with the strategies I use throughout my process to stay organized, get things finished, and have fun while doing it. She shares why she made the design decisions that she made. She hopes to help you see the world around you with fresh eyes, and get inspired by so much more than just other quilts.

She loves hearing from those who have seen my program; that she inspires them and made them feel like they could do it!

"Candace says she doesn’t do difficult, and yet somehow her simple quilts look complex, putting a twist on traditional blocks.” Ricky and Alex, from The Quilt Show

Candace’s workshop for November is A Maze Zing. This quilt started out as a variation on a jelly roll race. It will give participants practice on measuring and attaching borders. You can use it to make a very contemporary quilt quickly, but also works well with traditional fabrics for a classic look.

Come and join us for what is sure to be a relaxing and inspiring workshop.

Session: November 21, 2023, 9:30 am to 3:30 pm

Fee: $50 (members) (must be a member both at sign-up time and day of workshop), $70 (non-members)

Location: Zoom online platform
