| A
Trio of Patchwork
Projects
by Rhonda Woodsmall |
 |
The
checkbook cover is
made with the Star
Point Blocks and the
Combination Squares
Blocks. |
| |
The
coin purse is made
with the Wings Blocks.
|
| |
The
tote bag is made
up with Drunkard's
Path Blocks. I have
a new way to make
the Drunkard's Path
block that means
you don't have to
do curved seams.
You will sew a circle
onto a fabric square
but that is the
only "not straight"
sewing involved
in this method.
|
| |
The
designs look complicated
but you will learn
my tricks of the
trade that make
them really easy.
A beginner to an
expert can do these
projects. All you
need to be able
to do is sew a straight
seam. You also should
be willing to take
the time to make
sure seams meet
where they should.
Accuracy is important
in miniatures. It
makes your project
look good! You will
be using a template
and cutting with
a rotary cutter.
|
| |
It really is easier
than it looks to make
these projects! I
often hear people
say I could never
do that! But then
I think if you only
knew the tricks- yes
you can!! |

Patch Kameleon
(September 5th) by Eldrid Røyset
Førde - In this class
you will learn the Kameleon
Quilt® technique of sewing
three dimensional curved triangles
in between the blocks, and between
blocks and borders. The inset
curved triangles which can be
flipped over and buttoned down
to either side, will make for
a versatile design with lots
of possible looks, - you can
practically have a new look
to the quilt every day.

A
Trio of Patchwork Projects
(September 5th) by Rhonda Woodsmall
- Are you ready to try a new
piecing method? We are going
to make a checkbook cover, a
coin purse and a tote bag. My
cut down method allows you to
make "Blocks"with
small pieces without paper piecing
and you wont ever handle
anything smaller than a 1 ½"
square. "Blocks" are
made by sewing fabric swatches
together and then cutting out
squares with a template. There
are three different "Blocks"to
learn. The small pieces just
happen as you sew the squares
together. It's fun and dramatic
looking! More

Confused Wells
(September 19th) by Cinzia White
- Fed up with all of those leftover
scraps lying around
too
small for anything really but
too big to throw out. Well Confused
Wells is your answer. Made using
strips and quick piecing techniques
this is the perfect solution.
In fact the more scraps the
better. Any scrap bigger than
1in by 9in is usable. Confused
Wells is a generous 56in x 72in
but it is easy to change the
final size to suit your needs
and your scraps. More

Your
First Quilt
(September 26th) by Maria Hrabovsky
- If you have never made a quilt,
this class is for you. It will
take you step by step from the
tools and fabrics you will need
right through to a finished, labelled,
machine-quilted, small quilt.
Students will choose the size
of quilt they wish to make: doll
quilt, wall hanging, crib quilt,
baby quilt, or child size. Each
students quilt will be different
from the others. The only prerequisite
for this class is knowing how
to use your sewing machine. More
