Modified Quilt As You Go
presented by DIane Murtha


Saturday, January 7
Berkeley Hills Lutheran Church
9:00 - 3:00 (tentative)


This is a versatile quilting technique that allows you to break a larger quilt into smaller pieces so that you do not need to wrestle with a full size quilt. The cost of the workshop for members is $30.  You can check out her website at dianemurtha.com
Email Stacy if you want to attend.

 Using Your Scraps Effectively - Converging Corners
presented by Renee King

Saturday, April 30 
Berkeley Hills Lutheran Church
9:00 - 3:00

Renee will be bringing Accuquilt cutters to aid in transforming your scraps into usable units to put in quilts.
The cost will be $15 plus 2 yards of fabric each.
The money will cover the cost to the church and help cover the cost to send our donations to the Navajo Quilt Project.


Email Stacy if you want to attend.

Supply list:
1. Lots & lots of white or neutral strips (2 1/2" inches wide.  We will cut them into smaller strips during class.
2. Lots & lots of colorful scraps ( 2 1/2 inches wide) or 2 1/2 to 5" squares of brights
3. Neutral thread:  gray, beige, pink or whatever you like
4. Sewing machine in good working order, extra sewing machine needles
5. Rotary cutter, mat, ruler, scissors


Barn Quilt Painting
presented by Linda Baker

Saturday, June 11
Location:  Laurel Arts Center, Somerset
9:30 - 4:00

The $45 cost  includes: apron, paints, paint brushes, and a 24 x 24 inch sanded and primed board ready to paint plus instruction. You will need to bring a yardstick, a 12 inch ruler, a rubber eraser and a roll of green FROG tape, 1 inch wide.  Linda will supply a sheet with 150 quilt block designs graphed out for you to choose from. You can bring your own design but she suggests you choose a fairly simple one so that you can get it done and dried in the time available.

Extra bonus: The Sewing Box Quilt Shop is quite close to the Art Center.
We need a minimum of 10 people to run the workshop.  Contact Stacy to sign up.

Quilt of the Century

via Zoom
presented by Gyleen Fitzgerald
November 6, 7, 2020



Picture
Remember the bathroom tile floor of the 60's made with little squares and octagons? You got the picture. This quilt uses just two simple shapes to make an old fashion favorite. It's called “Quilt of the Century“ or “Melon Patch“ but call it pure fun for fabric collectors. Make a wall hanging or lap quilt; the choice is yours. All you need is 6½" squares and one accent fabric. Learn how to do a “double” Butterfly Seam to set-in squares quickly and accurately.Special Tool(s) required: 6½” square ruler (any brand)
