​Fiber artist Anelie Belden began her sewing career working in the fashion industry which gave her the skills to begin her quilting journey. After owning her own quilt store and teaching quilting in her area she began designing quilts. She has taken the traditional Dresden Quilt design and created a new updated Dresden Designs which are featured in her book titled “Thoroughly Modern Dresden”. Not only are the designs modern, they are constructed using a breakthrough piecing technique to improve speed and accuracy. Belden has recorded a program demonstrating her technique with “The Quilt Show”, starring Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. She has also taught at Quilt Guilds throughout the country, Houston Quilt Festival, on Quilt Cruises and with Empty Spools Seminars in Asilomar, California. An accomplished quilter, Belden has also had Her quilts featured in publications such as "The Art of the Quilt Calendar" and Quiltmaker's Magazine.
Meet Anelie Belden in this short video
She introduces herself and tells about her program & workshop 
​This class will teach students the new Modern way to Piece a Dresden Plate Block using Anelie's  piecing method of Stitch-n-Flip. This Technique gives quilters a choice to Appliqué or not and removes the difficulty of getting the Dresden to lay down flat. In addition, the designs made in class will incorporate the "Split Blade" design. Students will be surprised as to how easy the cutting and piecing technique is. Split Blades are one of the most popular designs from my Patterns and Book "Thoroughly Modern Dresden." Students will also learn several Border techniques which includes Putting Borders on without measuring, Pieced Dresden Border, and "Peaked Top Dresden Border."  Students will have a variety of design options to choose from. 

Students will learn all they need to know to complete the Jellyroll Split Blade Quilt in the one day class. Of course the entire quilt will not be constructed in one day. Students will have a little bit of work to do ahead of time in order to be prepared for class.  A pattern and template for the class is supplied for each student.  

There are many options for this project!  Check out the supply lists above to see what interests you and please join us for fun day of sewing.
