Saturday 10th February QSG of NSW talk by Deborah Louie

The first 2018 Quilt Study Group of NSW meeting will take place on the 10^th of February at The Glover Cottages, 124 Kent Street in Millers Point. Deborah Louie will talk about the new directions her quilting career has taken. Many of us have taken her classes in beginner and free-motion quilting in the past and know about her sponsorship by Bernina sewing machines, but now Deborah is using a new teaching technique fit for today’s busy world.

After an overview of her method of teaching machine quilting, Deborah will talk about the new quilt patterns she teaches and why she decided to change things all around and move into the cyber teaching world. We will hear about the logistics of running online classes - how and what she does.

Deborah will of course have plenty of quilts and images to illustrate her talk.
