I only fly Delta unless it is not available in your area and then only for that segment.

Let's Be Friends! (full day) - Supply List

Mysteries are so much fun, but so is learning how color works and how different units go together. This New class will have all that!

Each student brings 2 1/2" strips that will be exchanged. With a group of 20 or more there will be SO much to work with!

Depending on skill level and how fast you sew, you could actually finish a top in class. Amazing what can happen in a day.

Let Me Surprise You! (full day) - Supply List

Finally, a class that you know you have brought the right things for! In this fun-filled class, a kit of CUT fabrics is furnished. This is a wonderful group workshop for those that just want to sew and not have any cutting or thinking to do.

This class is the most popular class Charlotte offers. It fills quickly and is a SURPRISE in more ways than one. It is a mystery type class. No one gets any hints and yet those who take the class will want to take another. Each class is a different quilt. Rarely are the kits repeated. All kits in class are the same, there is no choice for the students. This is the type of class that works well at shows, because it lets the students have a great time plus have a successful project. It is also great for guilds where the students know each other and like to talk and don’t usually get that chance in other classes.

If you are a group hiring Charlotte, YOU will determine the price of the kit. That can range from $100 (small) to as much as you want each kit to cost. The size will be determined by the fabric used and how it is cut. If, for example it is a complicated cut, the price is higher just for that part. The higher the price the larger the kit. The fabrics used in the kits are all top quality and with yardage prices being around $12 per yard and up, the price of the kits reflects this cost.

NOTE: Charlotte needs at least 6 months' lead time for this class. You must give her a max number of students and a price that far in advance so she can be prepared. Anyone stuck in a color group, who needs to be in control of her project or one who wants to learn lots of cutting tips most likely will not like this workshop. Someone who loves to sew all day with no worries, laughing and having a great time with a project worth finishing will love this workshop.

Each lecture is humorous, light and yet full of information and real quilts. There are no slides or power point, lights are up and ideas are flowing. Many people can not attend classes, and lectures are a great way for them to get a view of what quilting is all about. Questions are always welcome during the lecture. Bring friends, cameras and be ready to laugh!
