Going in Circles – Designing a Modern Wholecloth Quilt Monday, May 13th

1pm to 5pm

In this hands on class Kim will teach you her approach to designing a modern wholecloth quilt using over lapping circles and a variety of freehand designs.  We will discuss the best way to make your wholecloth design stand out with background quilting.  Once you’ have mapped out your wholecloth you will mark your quilt top and start stitching.
Supply List: Pen and paper for notes, thread snips, Circle rulers in a variety of sizes (example: 8”, 7”, 6”, 5”, 4” & 3”) for marking and stitching around, Staedtler® Mars® Combo Circle Template (available at office supply stores),
straight edge ruler for marking quilt top.

On the Machine

I hope to get this done today or tomorrow...  it will probably be tomorrow.

I'm really liking the way the blocks are turning out....

 

And I've decided I like the way the sashing looks without the pebbles...  I think it will be fine if I don't add them but keep them in the border.  (cause I'm not taking them out!)

 

I had way too much fun piecing the back with my leftovers!!!!  I believe there might be a little terrier dog under that there backing...  :-)

The quilting designs that I using on my quilt will be part of what I will be teaching in my Heavy Metal Quilting class...

 Heavy Metal Quilting

MQS 2013
Wednesday, May 15th

12:30pm to 2:30pm
With the look and feel of rod iron fencing Heavy Metal gets its name.  Don’t be fooled by the name, these designs are made using soft curves and spirals.  You will learn how to quilt the border treatment that started it all with a little bit of marking to divide up the space and turn the corners with ease.  Kim will explain the process of creating unique custom designs for many traditional and modern quilts.

This class if for all skill levels, but geared for beginners to intermediate.
