Joy Clark
Session: 2 x 3hr
Level: Beginner Intermediate

Joy has been a member of SAQG since 2008. She is an award-winning Master Quilter and SAQG 
Accredited Quilting Teacher. A passion for fabric and thread and a desire to share the skills acquired
over the last 40 years make teaching a very important part of her life. Joy says: “I teach because I 
love to teach and in my class you’ll find yourself in a relaxed environment, where trying new things 
will prove to be fun. No pressure, no stress, just come and enjoy your time with me.”

DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Learn how to make Dresden points. Fussy-cut methods will be taught as an option for additional
interest. The class project will be focussed on a small table-topper of about 75cm square, but you can 
change your layout to make a runner instead. Various methods of creating a background will be 
shown. Appliqué by hand or machine. Both methods will be shown. Create perfect circles for the 
centre of your Dresdens. We will only make the top in class, but quilting methods will be shown.
Cost of Kit (optional): R550
Detailed Contents of Kit:
Variety of fabrics for the ‘blades’ & centres of Dresdens (similar to class sample) for the tablecloth.
