Color Girl Quilts
Appropriate level: Confident Beginner to Advanced
Class description: The Mermaid pattern will inspire your creativity with its versatile, graphic design and easy construction. Play with layout or make it like the pattern, this versatile pattern gives you lots of options for a unique finish.
Try it with solids like the sample for a bold look, mix your favorite prints, or add texture with batiks. You can’t go wrong and you may want to make more than one!
Mermaid includes three sizes: baby, throw, and queen, with fully illustrated cutting and piecing instructions.
The Mermaid quilt is appropriate for quilters new to curved piecing, as the blocks are large and the curve is easy. Cutting is quick and easy with the Classic Curves Ruler, no templates required.

Color Girl Quilts
Appropriate level: Confident Beginner to Advanced
Class description: Curved pieces are quick to cut and easy to piece with the Classic Curves Ruler.
Gentle curved piecing and a simple appliqué technique make Whimsy Garden fun to sew and really lovely to finish! This workshop will teach you Sharon’s favorite applique technique for perfect circles (even for those who don’t like applique!) while making this adorable quilt design.
Whether you are just learning curved piecing or already a master, you’ll love Whimsy Garden from fabric selection to final stitch. This unique quilt design is perfect for any taste and any occasion: use as a baby quilt or decorative modern wall art. The queen size would be a stunning heirloom quilt for your bed. Pattern includes complete illustrated instructions from cutting to finishing for baby, throw, and queen sizes.
**Kit available for Whimsy Garden on Sharon’s website. She’ll refund shipping costs for anyone wishing to purchase the kit. Please order ahead so she can bring them to the workshop.
