Welcome
Hi, I'm Ann Petersen, often listed as Ann L. Petersen and I
welcome you to the website of a self-confessed obsessive quilter. I have been quilting, on and off for most of my adult life but it has become my favorite pastime and occupation. I enjoy playing with design, color and texture in quilting and often enter quilt shows to test my skills. If I have a recognizable style it would be quilts which are heavily pieced, play with color shifts across the surface of a quilt, and are heavily quilted. Please enjoy my gallery, take a look and feel free to contact me for more information.
Thank you!

This is a class taking you through handling a large quilt as a whole. It also includes methods for splitting the quilt into 1/3 or less and quilting each section and how to assemble it, how to divide the batting or how to make a quilt by quilting block by block or a medallion sale.
