This queen-size quilt ( 88" by 100") is built around a centre motif by adding borders which carry the colors throughout the quilt. A centre geometric starburst medallion is surrounded by three borders: the perennial Log Cabin blocks, a stained glass floral and vine appliqué border, and the outer border of “old fashioned” blocks. Participants in the 4-day workshop will learn color coordination, speed sewing, strip sewing, appliqué techniques, and how to 'build' a quilt top.

Anna Davison has taught quilting for 25 years and currently designs quilt patterns sold through her own business in Mahone Bay or taught at various workshops that she facilitates throughout eastern Canada, Ontario and parts west. She has exhibited her quilts at shows in Halifax and Lunenburg County and has made numerous one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces for personal and commercial use and for fund-raising efforts. Anna says her greatest enjoyment comes from seeing the "light come on" when teaching a new idea or technique to workshop participants, whether they are beginners or advanced quilters.
