By Annie's: Tools of the Trade - Online or In Person
Tools of the Trade portfolio/carrying case gives you a choice of 2 sizes and is designed for the safe storage and transportation of oversized items such as large rulers and cutting mats. Your Stripology Rulers and cutting mat as well and many other items that you need to have at hand to use them are easily accessible by just lifting the flap to remove the items you need. There are slip pockets and zippered pockets on the outside and lots of pockets and dividers on the inside for all your items like rotary cutters, scissors, smaller rulers, threads, stilettos etc. Long handles allow the bag to be carried over the shoulder or even cross-body for easy hands-free carrying. Whether you are going to a class or retreat, or just trying to organize your large items, you will LOVE this versatile organizer. Choose your portfolio size and come join Ann Mitton as she guides you and eases you through the sometimes intimidating elements of a By Annie project.

Instructor Bio: | I have lived all my life in this part of New Brunswick, growing up in Dorchester and then moving to Sackville and raising my family here. I come from a long line of makers and learned to sew, knit and crochet from my maternal grandmother by the time I was 5 years old. I am mostly a self taught quilter and machine embroiderer. My mother and grandmother both hand quilted with a ladies church group in Dorchester and I remember those lovely traditional quilts with great fondness. I have been married for over 50 years and have 2 married sons and 2 grandchildren. When I retired, I rewarded myself with an embroidery/sewing machine. Unfortunately there were no classes available in the area at the time and so I had to learn from my sewing machine manual and the internet. Because of that, I feel it is important to share what I know about quilting and embroidery with others so they don't feel like they are going it alone. Getting up in front of people was so far outside my comfort zone but now I love it because I am talking to like minded friends who are as eager to learn as I am to share. I try to make my classes fun and I try to help people relax and become proficient with their machines and quilting tools. There is much laughter and sharing and caring during my classes. Every time Kate and Marilyn and I look at a new teaching season and new classes, I get excited about quilting all over again. I love looking for new things to share, new twists on old ideas and figuring out how to present them to our students. |
