Original Creations as well as a couple of our patterns.
Having an opportunity to spend 7 days working on something you love and learning something new was amazing for us all.
Everyone had time to ask questions and have Nancy and I work with them. I enjoyed having a chance help students in a class setting. I do it regularly over the phone and at shows but I sure enjoyed working with the students.
Here are a few more of the students and their work from the
Design your Personal Hawaiian Quilt Class.
If you ever have an opportunity to take Nancy's
Design your Personal Hawaiian Quilt Class do not miss out. It is such a wonderfully creative class and will release ideas you never knew you had.

A FAVORITE NOTION
|
|
Pattern Transfer Paper
 Pattern Transfer Paper is one of those notions you didn't realize you needed until you have it.
It is a wonderful way to transfer your patterns onto your fabric.
The quick, easy, safe way to transfer pattern lines to fabric!
- Large size
- Economical
- Temporary
- Wax-free
- Acid-free
- Non-toxic
- Multi-use
When your applique fabric is so dark you cannot see the pattern lines, even with a light box, the best thing to do is to trace the lines using our Pattern Transfer Paper (PTP).
This works very well with any fabric, not just dark fabrics. Yes, complete instructions come in the package.
The 18" x 24" sheets are large enough to mark one half of a 2FAQ quilt, then just slide the PTP over to mark the second half.
You can choose from a single sheet in either blue, red, yellow, or white for $5.75. Or, you can purchase one of each color in our Assorted pack for $20.00.
It is not only perfect for transferring lines to fabric it will transfer lines to many other surfaces.
My daughter was making wood signs for her upcoming wedding and was wanting to transfer the text to the wood and then she wanted to paint them. I sent her a pack of the PTP and it worked so well for this and she was able to brush off the chalk after the paint had dried.
What projects will you use your Pattern Transfer Paper for?

As many of you know I was fortunate enough to get to assist Nancy Lee Chong on a 15 Day Hawaiian Quilting Cruise. We left San Francisco on Friday, March 10th and sailed across the Pacific on the Grand Princess. During our travels over Nancy taught her
Design your Personal Hawaiian Quilt Class. It was an incredible four days at sea learning everything there is to know about designing your personal Hawaiian Quilt! Then we adventured on four of the Hawaiian Islands, visiting quilt shops, museums, beaches and enjoying some shaved ice and of course Loco Moco! Then we headed back to San Francisco. We had three days of classes where we worked on a
2 Fabric Applique Quilt.
What a wonderful group of women we were blessed to get to know. The person who traveled the farthest was a woman from South Africa! Amazing!
I enjoyed everyone! Janet St Peter was our Travel Agent and she did a great job of making all the arrangements. I had a small shop set up so if anyone forgot some supplies they were available and assisted Nancy in any way I could! I especially loved helping the students learn to do needleturn applique. When you love something so much there is nothing much better than sharing that with others!
The following photos are of most of us all dressed up the last formal night for dinner. There were 4 who were missing and the photographer... :-).
Mahalo,
Connie

2 Fabric Applique quilt patterns

Too many to choose from...
On the return trip from Hawaii, Nancy taught the 2 Fabric Applique Class and each of the students was able to pick out their own patterns, learn the process and begin the needleturn applique. I took photos of most of the students, I missed a few, and they may have been off adventuring on the ship.
As you can see, a few of the students used the Hoffman Digital Supernova prints for their backgrounds. Don't you just love the effect it gave the pieces? I have added a link to each of the photos to the pattern which is shown.

Schedule Nancy now for your show or event in 2017, 2018 and beyond. If you would like her to come to your area to teach, let your quilt shop, quilt guild, or show organizer know. Print
Nancy's Brochure
and pass it
along.
Piggy-backing is good!
Nancy is always eager to teach or speak at more than one location when she travels. If she is able to book multiple events, then each group shares in her travel expenses. So it is really an economical and efficient way to book. If you see that Nancy will be anywhere near* you, then contact her to see if additional engagements can be arranged during the same trip. That way EVERYONE WINS!
*Remember, Nancy is traveling from Washington State. So "near" means that if she will be in Virginia even Florida or Maine is near. Think regionally.
Nancy will be visiting the San Fernando Valley Quilters in California July 8-10, 2017. Let Nancy know if your guild would like to piggy-back with that trip.
