No Whining Quilt
No quilt police in this
class! The class includes basic
blocks and various other blocks to add interest which we cut up and put back
together again. You probably won't go home
with a finished quilt, but you WILL go home with a bag full of inspiration
blocks. Bring 20 or so 3 1/2" strips in a variety of darks and
lights and 1/2 yard of a muslin or neutral as well as any fabric you happen to have laying
around in case you fall in love with a concept and want to continue
on. Don't cut yourself short on fabric - always better to have too
much than too little.
Other items to bring:
-
A sewing machine in good working order complete with power cord and foot
pedal, extra filled bobbins, extra
machine needles, accessories, sewing machine extension table (if you
use one), cleaning tools (oil, Q-tips, lint brush), rubber door stops to
prop your machine or table towards you, OTT light and/or extra light bulb
for your machine.
-
Basic sewing kit: extra thread (gray is a good neutral color) pins,
scissors and/or thread snips, seam ripper, sewing gauge, tape measure, hand sewing
needles, needle threader, thimble, fabric marking pencil or pen
- Paper marking pencil or
pen, pencil sharpener, paper for note-taking, paper lunch bag and masking tape for cleanup.
Don't forget your glasses!
-
Rotary cutter, extra blade, ruler, good sized mat, your favorite ruler(s).
Bring a long one as well as a small 4 1/2" or 6 1/2"
one.
-
Iron or mini-iron, ironing mat and an extension cord or power strip.
-
Pillow to sit on, bottle of water, chocolate.
-
An open mind and a desire to try something new.
-
A willingness to have fun!
