For almost 30 years Carla made all her quilts by hand and only discovered the rotary cutter in 2005! Recognizing how much faster making quilts would become, her ideas just went wild. There wasn’t enough time to complete all these quilts without finding ways to go faster. So this resulted in Shortcut Sheets – an accident discovered by breaking the rules. In this presentation, Carla shares the path it took to go from Quilter to Designer. She has many quilts to show, all created over the past few years. All 8 methods have been published in a binder format along with practice patterns for each technique, quilt patterns, tips and worksheets. Panel Play is an 82 page book showing how to punch up a panel using blocks made the Shortcut Sheet way - a double quilting experience. Five of her designs were published in AQ Magazine. Carla also works with Northcott designing many patterns using their fabrics.

This meeting will be held virtually, via Zoom for the foreseeable future.
