Saturday, October 4 10 AM to 4 PM
Seams Sew Easy Event Center, 2326 Mack Road, Fairfield
Class Description:
With your favorite large-scale, high-contrast print, you can create a beautiful quilt design! In class you will work with a pre-selected, pre-stacked print for a small table runner, 24” x 65”. Cutting shapes, selecting the best designs, and piecing tips are covered in detail. If desired, bring your favorite fabric. After the demo of sectioning and layering, you can begin stacking and cutting for your own unique, serendipitous quilt.
Skill Level: Confident beginner to experienced quilters.
Tools & Notions:
Basic machine sewing kit (includes machine, scissors, thread, machine needles, wound bobbins, seam ripper )
Doll needle or long, large needle
Rotary cutter, ruler, mat
60° ruler, Clearview Triangle 8”, 10” or Super 60 – available at class.
Design used is from the book “Stack & Cut Hexagon Quilts” – available at class.
Piece of flannel or batting for a design wall – optional
Preparation Prior to Class:
Select and bring the following fabrics that match the fabric provided in class (not the fabric shown in this picture). Workshop coordinator will provide a photo 2-3 weeks before class.
Star points: 1/4 yd light (shown as variety of pinks and greens)
Star background: 3/8 yd medium (shown as variety of pinks and greens)
Flower petals: 5/8 yd dark (shown as dark purple)
Background: 5/8 yd light (shown as light green) includes setting triangles and end pieces.
For your own project, you need a fabric that has a large print (elements that are 2-4” across) with high value contrast (light background with dark elements or dark background with light elements). You need 6 repeated sections which can total 2 1/2 to 4
yards. Bring a couple of these large scale prints to choose from if you are not sure which works.
If you have time, watch the video on Serendipity Designs on my website.
