How to Make a Modern Dresden Quilt with Susan Cleveland
(Show 2308) Susan Cleveland is in the house and that means piecing precision, fabulous workmanship, and lots of laughs. Having avoided the Dresden plate for years because she wasn't happy with her own results, she is now a full-fledged convert, working with a traditional block in an upbeat and contemporary way. With a nod of thanks to her quilt sisters of yore, Susan shares tips for creating perfect points, avoiding the dreaded wonky bias volcano center, and fun and contemporary ways to add spark and fun to this much loved block. A stickler for impeccable piecing, Susan then shares tips about thread, needles and feed dogs that can make a huge difference when it comes to results.
