With 20 years of experience under her belt as a quilt maker she has found her own
style and creativity. In her PowerPoint presentation and trunk show she will share
the results of her discovery of a dramatic way to add originality and sparkle to the
traditional flying geese block. She will display a selection of quilts and ideas created
with her Split Flying Geese technique and explain how easy it can be to create
beautiful unique quilts.
JULY 18    AMI SIMMS

THE OLD ORDER AMISH
Thursday, July 18—Invisible Applique with Ami Simms . The workshop will be immediately after
the day meeting from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The cost of the workshop is $45. Please bring a
sack lunch so that we can start promptly at noon.
Workshop Description from Ami:  Explore a new way to appliqué where the thread is nearly
invisible. Learn by sewing with butt- ugly thread. We won't be making anything pretty in class,
but by the time we're done, you'll want to run right out and start a king-size Rose of Sharon.
Students will focus on the stitch itself, sewing straight lines and then
curves. If time permits, demonstrations of points and V-shapes will be shown.
This is a technique workshop, not a project workshop. Ami will provide a kit with all you need
to get started with hand applique. See the workshop information page on the website for full
details.
Please sign up at the meeting or contact me at 281-575-7726 or juliedayton@sbcglobal.net.
