Can you believe that these quilts are all the same? Would you like to know how this is accomplished? Well step right up. You can learn to make this and have it look different every single time.
Take this class on March 23rd. Here are all of the details.
Photos from top to bottom are Teeny Tiny Tepee Town, Precious Metals, Pink Diamonds and Fractured 4 Patch. They are all in my book “Sensational Quilts for Scrap Lovers” (C&T Publishing). The only one that is not in that book is Pink Diamonds, and that one is from “Quilt as You Go for Scrap Lovers”. It’s the same exact technique. What you need for this class will vary depending on which one you want to make. So print this page out and get started planning your class and quilt.
When: March 23rd 2024 9:00 a.m. -4:30 p.m.
Where: To be determined but most likely St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Will be somewhere in Ripon.
Cost: $80

Class Level: Intermediate
Materials:
****Note: Please make sure to pay attention to this materials list. I will have fat quarters available for purchase on the day of class in case you don’t have enough of something. Make sure that your sewing machine is in excellent working order. It must be a sewing machine that you have recently sewn on. Do not bring a sewing machine that you have never sewn on before. I won’t have time to teach you how to thread or use your machine. Thanks in advance.
Do not bring Charm Packs. These are not large enough and will not work for these color schemes.
Materials for any choice of quilt:
- Sewing machine with 1/4 inch marking or 1/4 inch foot
- Neutral thread
- seam ripper
- scissors
- pins
- rotary cutter
- rotary cutting mat
- rotary cutting ruler
- 3 1/2, 4 1/2, and 5 1/2 inch ruler by Judy Gauthier for C&T Publishing (not necessary to purchase this if you have these sizes.) I will have them available to purchase in class.
- Lightweight interfacing if you will be cutting some of your scraps on the bias. In other words, if you need to position your template on the bias for some of your scraps, then you will need lightweight interfacing. Bring about 1/2-3/4 yard.
