- Hi, I'm Michele Muska.

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,799
I'm a quilter and a fiber artist.

4
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:07,969
I'm also a quilt book author.

5
00:00:07,969 --> 00:00:10,640
The first quilt I made
with intention as an adult

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,050
was with the Dresden Plate.

7
00:00:12,050 --> 00:00:14,339
It happens to be my favorite quilt block

8
00:00:14,339 --> 00:00:15,949
because it's so versatile.

9
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:17,649
In this class, we're going to learn how

10
00:00:17,649 --> 00:00:19,929
to construct a Dresden Plate,

11
00:00:19,929 --> 00:00:22,870
do hand stitching, machine stitching,

12
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:26,320
we'll also be learning
how to make bias piping

13
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,960
and freezer paper circle,

14
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,260
which is one of the most difficult
things to do in quilting.

15
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:34,176
I chose the Dresden Plate
for this pillow project

16
00:00:34,176 --> 00:00:36,460
because it makes a great impact.

17
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:39,729
And finally, I've chosen
to offset the Dresden Plate

18
00:00:39,729 --> 00:00:42,314
to give it a more modern
and contemporary feel.
