NEW! Stained Glass: Three Circles
by
Mary Marcotte. In this class you will learn the
basics of creating a stained glass quilt. We will
use a method I created after making several stained
glass quilts in the traditional way. Rather than
pin together the "glass shards" then
adding the leading, we will quilt the "glass"
down before adding the leading, or black lines
that complete the quilt. This method does two
things: it allows us to easily add the finishing
touches and stabilizes the quilt top so that it
looks better for a longer time. This process is
much easier than the traditional way of making
stained glass quilts. More

of the most used components in making up quilt blocks.

each time. How to change it to make future quilts
is a part of this set of lessons. More
