Quilting

Hi there!

My name is Kat and I'm really looking forward to learning something fun with you!  I consider myself a wannabe Glass Artist.  I am currently working on a dinosaur quilt- completely done out of fused glass screen printed with glass powders.  

I did not study Education at school, but for nearly two years i taught glass fusing and basic sewing (ages 5-93) at a great art facility (no longer in business).  I have been providing private lessons since September 2014.

I have a BA in Art History from CU Boulder and a Masters in Art Museum and Gallery Studies from Newcastle University.  I grew up sewing, learned to knit just over 10 years ago, and got into quilting about 4 years ago (when I got my own machine and could stop borrowing my moms.)  My first experience with glass was 6 years ago and I've been hooked ever since!

I consider myself a patient, fun, and encouraging instructor.  I like to cater each lesson to your individual desires and ability while being fun and challenging.  Sometimes you gotta go back to basics but i try to do so in a way that encourages and exemplifies growth.  

I'm located in the South Denver Metro area.  I will meet at several different libraries, your home, or online!!

I hope to work with you and help you reach your artistic goals, the grander the better!!

You’ve pieced together the top of your quilt, now learn how to machine quilt it!  Learn how to create a “quilt sandwich” and quilting exercises will be the main focus.

i focus on machine quilting.  i will do just about anything to avoid hand sewing, but i do know several stitches and when to use them.

I understand patterns, how to change them, when not to change them, and how to make something easier!  

Together, we can start at the beginning (how to use a sewing machine, what materials you need, etc) and work up to something amazing (queen sized bed cover perhaps!)

Personally, I am notorious for making my own projects more complicated than necessary but that's because i find a pattern I like and choose to alter it to my own specifications.

Kat was fantastic! Taught me how to use my machine and get started on my project!

She was funny, patient and kind. I loved my lesson. I learned a lot. I had the best time, learning about the sewing machine. She was very encouraging. I am excited about sewing.

Great Teacher ver helpfull and flexable with classes. Look foward to working with Kat in the near future.

Kat was great!  On time and a great teacher!  I enjoyed my lesson with her.

She was very informative, patient and nice. I like her! Can't wait for more lessons.

Kat is a good teacher and makes the lessons fun

Kat is very flexible and listens to your problem. Great job!

This was first sewing lesson and I enjoyed working with Kat she is very patient
