Swarm Quilt

Put your budding quilt-as-you-go skills to use on a lovely quilt that calls to mind a flock of birds. Gudrun shows you how to create a "quilting map" as a placement guide, and then reveals how to make and assemble your units in neat rows.
Disc Jockey Runner

Curves can be intimidating, but Gudrun shows you simple tricks to stitch the illusion of curves with confidence for this unique table runner project. Next, you'll learn how to add your background and border fabric, and finish your runner with gorgeous topstitching.
Sunburst Topper

Change your thinking from square to circular as you tackle a sunburst topper that's bursting with color and energy. Prepare the pieces using wedge and circle templates included with class, and fuse the gaps between the wedges with easy-to-use fusible appliqué. Finish your topper with curve-friendly bias binding.
Repo Pillow

Don't let your scraps from prior projects go to waste - use them all up in a gorgeous pillow! Gudrun walks you through the process of preparing and color-auditioning your scraps, marking the batting, and assembling your pillow with either an envelope back or zippered closure.
