CLASSES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2014
Classes range from basic machine piecing to advanced embellishment using a combination of long arm machine quilting, hand beading and stitching, and machine appliqué and piecing. Vikki believes in experimentation being key to advancing one’s skills. By learning various techniques we are better able to find our niche.
Classes usually range from eight to twenty individuals. For teaching classes she charges by the hour (please contact for her hourly rate) plus room and board – she prefers outside accommodations to being billeted, unless a private room with a private bathroom is available, plus $0.30/km travel or travel expenses (flight).
Classes are booked for either evenings (6:00 PM – 9:00 PM approximately 3 hours), or during the day (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, approximately 6 hours), or a Friday evening (3 hours), Saturday day (6 hours), and Sunday day (6 hours) – or the entire week or weekend (for a retreat).
Vikki is willing to provide a free trunk show if she is teaching a class. An enjoyable way to incorporate this into the classes is to have the members of the class bring a dish for a pot luck, those who bring a dish get in free – or alternatively they can bring canned foods for a local food bank.
Vikki teaches so that students can create their own unique project. All of her classes have numerous ways to complete the project so the student has some control over how complicated they want their piece.
This also allows beginners to be included in with the more advanced quilters thus gaining insight of their knowledge as well as her own.
Vikki encourages students to take as many classes as possible from as many different teachers to expand their knowledge, therefore enabling them to make better-informed decisions on what methods they choose to use in their quilting. There are no wrong ways to quilt – only different.
She always includes a brief talk regarding copyright issues before each class.
