Please note that the workshop has been cancelled.

     Our Saturday workshop will have Blue Underground Studios teaching Mod Quads.

This project looks to be a good way to use  some of our stash fabrics.  Their sample uses black and whites, but you may choose almost any fabrics you would like to work with.

The fabric requirements are as follows:

-1/8 yard cuts of at least 28 assorted black and white prints (a total of at least 3 1/2 yards)

-twenty  four inch squares or scraps for the bright splashes of color through out.

the sample quilt measures 48" x 60" finished and used approximately 80 different black and white prints. 

This one should go together easily and finish quickly, not another UFO!

In addition to cutting and piecing methods, batting and thread choices as well as color theory will be discussed.

      The last workshop of the season will be with Kim Diehl.  We will get a sneak peak at  a project from her fourth book "Simple Comforts" due out in 2009.

    "Mocha Stars"  (http://www.kimdiehl.com/workshops.php)  combines invisible machine applique with some simple piecing. All aspects of Kim's easily mastered methods will be covered in this class,including design placement,tips for preparing applique' with smooth,flowing edges, and using your sewing machine to achieve finished applique's that look hand stitched.  Large scale stars and simply shaped flowering vines make this a perfect learning project for beginners.  If you have been hesitant to try applique, this class will open new
