Happy New Year Friends! We are very "jazzed" about our new line up of classes for January. Truddi Greene will return with two new classes...
Convergence Quilts on Friday, January 27th. Here is another example of Truddi's work
Another Convergence Quilt. This method was developed by the Cowboy Quilter, Ricky Tims. Large blocks are pieced together and then cut and reassembled. You can get very creative with large prints and special borders.
Truddi will also be teaching the "Sunburst" block...
This is paper pieced. The block can be the focal point of a larger quilt or wall hanging or can be a very cool pillow. Again, our larger prints work very well with this block.
We are very excited to be offering a new Modern Quilting Series. We will meet the 4th Wednesday of each month thru May. Using the book, "Modern Blocks" we will explore the construction of these blocks to make a contemporary sampler style quilt. The book contains blocks from some of our favorite designers, compliled by Susanne Woods.
We will be offering this book at a deep discount for our workshop members!
Shelley will be teaching from the pattern by Sweet Jane called "Tea Party", no political affiliation here! This is a jelly roll friendly quilt that contains a partial seam. No sweat...Shelley will guide you thru this process.
Here is a picture of Shelley's finished quilt using "Lark" fabric by Amy Butler.
A close up view...nice quilting ,Andrew!
