Starry Nights - Revisited
By Kathy Clawson
This course qualifies for 2 credits
***Class Three***
Join Kathy for the artistic twist to the Starry Nights Templates. A creative way to add interest, color and individuality to the Starry Nights Designs.
Class one will revisit the Starry Nights with a twist. Rather than using the TempLee method of quilting, we will use Colored Pencils!
The pencils will allow us the opportunity to use different color combinations on each block, or the same color combination over the whole project. I am looking forward to doing this project with you.
Kathy will guide you through the creation of 3-4 block designs using Westalee Design Starry Nights Template Sets per each class.
All classes will run from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Central Time.
**Please have all blocks cut and basted together with your method of choice prior to class. Each block for the 16 rotation (first set of blocks) should be marked with 16 rotations to save class time.
~Enjoy

Kathy Clawson, Sew Steady Promoted Instructor, Master Quilter
Kathy was raised by a mother who was passionate about sewing and instilled this love into her at a young age. While growing up Kathy sewed most of her own clothes and designed wallets, purses, and other bags. Then she found quilting and fell in love with the process and working with color and design. Free motion quilting became Kathy’s passion until she discovered Westalee Rulers and Templates. Utilizing her many years of free motion quilting set Kathy up for success with rulers and templates and a love of incorporating them together for a unique look.
Kathy owns her own quilt shop, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where education is the main focus. Her philosophy is to accomplish three things with her students. First, have fun. Second is to learn something with each class, and third is to leave with more confidence. Her teaching style is laid back and inclusive believing that not everyone learns at the same pace or in the same manner. Kathy incorporates written instruction, demonstration, and hands on approach to a well rounded educational experience.
