Innovative Appliqué Workshop
I designed Innovative Appliqué to make turned edge appliqué easy; lowering the learning curve, improving accuracy and productivity. A six hour class for up to twenty students is the best learning environment. This allows time for students to experience the process and be able to duplicate the method in the future. My teaching goal is to add appliqué to a beginner's tool box. For experienced appliquérs the goal is a new and improved tool box.

English Paper Piecing Made Modern Workshop
I love the look of English Paper Piecing but did not like the traditional method. Folding fabric over paper, gluing or basting, whip-stitching and then pulling papers out. There had to be a better way! I designed self-stick templates that can be reused until they no longer stick (5-10 times). The templates enable you to cut multiply layers or fussy cut your fabric. Straight stitch by hand or machine, eliminating the previous mentioned time consuming tasks. I teach you how to use the templates, pick the fabric/color and stitch it all together by hand or machine.
Student Feedback
Becky's innovative applique technique can help improve your applique confidence and results!
As a new quilter -- I love the joy of modern quilting and satisfaction of results. I have always admired applique quilts but never dreamed I could obtain near perfect results that comes from years of practice -- until I met Becky. I attended one of Becky's applique classes and within 20 minutes I had an "ah ah" moment. I quickly realized that Becky had designed a fast and easy way to applique with near perfect results! Her teaching and methods gave me the confidence and inspiration to create beautiful applique quilts.

"hi Becky!! I am doing the pattern from the Rabbit Hutch called Blooms All Around and it has a ton of leaves. I decided to try your method of applique because after 30 leaves in my fingers were cramping from all the gymnastics that I have to do to applique. To say that I was surprised is MORE THAN AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!!WOOHOO!! Life is good when things actually work and I can not believe how much time was saved. I am hoping to have some pics up tomorrow. Thanks so much and I can not wait to become a student!"
