 Twister
 A quilt that actually has you constructing the pieced border units at the same time as you construct the pieced blocks. This project uses Deb's "Tucker Trimmer" tools and techniques to make the pieced "Combination Units" and then trim them to precise sizes for absolutely spectacular end results. The original Tucker Trimmer was used for the blocks and pieced border units, and the Tucker Trimmer III was used for all of the setting squares. The class is easy enough for beginning quilters, but interesting enough for those with more experience. One size option available 72" x 92". Pattern comes with the class and all tools are available from the instructor at time of workshop.
Single ~ $ 715.00 Double ~ $ 640.00 Commuter ~ $ 485.00
Shadow Stars
 Based on a block design by Judy Martin, Deb has put her own spin on the project to create a spectacular wall quilt. Students will learn how to construct three different size stars using a "Fast Flying Geese" technique and trim down each with Deb's patented "Wing Clipper" tool. The individual blocks are then assembled into an interesting layout and teamed up with a pieced border to pull everything together. Options are given for larger size projects for those who may want to create full size quilts. Recommended for confident beginner and above. Pattern included with the class, tools available at the time of the workshop.Single ~ $ 715.00 Double ~ $ 640.00 Commuter ~ 485.00
