Beth Helfter from EvaPaige Quilt Designs Accordion Sewn HSTs - "The Carpenter's Apprentice" $50 includes lunch Why take this class? Accordion Sewn HST were invented to maximize the number of fabrics in scrappy HST based quilts. It's incredibly run and addiction, but it doesn't just make cool little accordions; once you cut them apart, your quilts are halfway done. This workshop will take the Accordion Sewn HST technique and up the ante just a bit as we sew all the HSTs needed for the Carpenter's Apprentice pattern ALMOST all at once, keeping it all scrappy with no waste! Pattern required but can be purchased the day of class for $10. Supply list and cutting instructions available. It is highly recommended that fabrics are cut prior to class. Michelle Banton from Little Pup Designs $50 includes lunch Color Theory Games Create a wall hanging using various combinatons from the color wheel. We start with delicious Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabrics and create a wall quilt based on the Color Wheel. Giuseppe Ribaudo (aka Guicy Guice) More information coming soon! |
