5 WENDY BUTLER BERNS 102 Stitch to the Finish Line with Machine Quilting Thursday, March 12, 2009 Beginner to Intermediate Dig yourself out from under all those pieced tops and finish them with machine quilting. We will cover all aspects of machine quilting and free motion quilting including using a walking foot, a darning foot and working with specialty threads like rayon and metallic. We will practice ways of breaking away from using predetermined quilting patterns and encouraging you to become the creator. Whether this is your first experience at machine quilting, or you are ready to branch into free motion, you will gain practical tips and confidence. We will begin the class with using practice sandwiched kits, then move to discuss how to quilt a wall sized, layered project you bring from home. Supply List - Stitch to the Finish Line Workshop by Wendy Butler Berns Required: Sewing machine cleaned in good working order and general sewing supplies Walking foot Darning foot Monofilament thread YLI, Sulky, Wonder, Sew Art, or Mono-Poly brand, clear color Cotton thread for initial practicing Bobbins wound with a neutral cotton thread that generally blends with your backing fabric Microtex sharp sewing machine needles, size # 12(80) Schmetz Top stitch size # 14 (90) sewing machine needles Spool of cotton thread neutral color and a color to coordinate with your wall hanging Machine quilting gloves- I recommend "Machingers" Layering supplies-approx /2 long safety pins, batting,*** backing,top Optional Supplies for marking quilt top: blue invisible pen soap slivers 1 masking tape

6 Batting: I recommend Warm and Natural batting for machine quilting For beginning practice session: Sandwiched machine quilting practice kits: Using muslin, or older light solid fabric(rather than a print) you do not care about too much, make 3 to 5 sandwiched kits approx square to use for practice. To make a kit: cut top layer, cut batting and backing layer about 1 1/2 larger, pin baste together with safety pins that are 1 1/2-2 long. Bring multiple (3 to 5) kits to practice on and for confidence building. Layered wall hanging: Once you have spent time with the practice kits, you may be ready to tackle the layered wall hanging you will bring from home. Pin-baste and layer a pieced wall hanging you just have not gotten around to quilting. Choose a project that is between approx. 24 and 45 to begin with in class. ( you can bring more than one to work on.) We will discuss as a group options for quilting the layered projects you bring. WE DO NOT HAVE ROOM FOR STUDENTS TO LAYER AND PIN BASTE THEIR QUILT IN CLASS, SO COME TO CLASS WITH YOUR WALLHANGING ALREADY LAYERED AND PIN BASTED. OPTIONAL : for the student wanting to explore the use of quilting with specialty threads: Spool and a bobbin partially wound with monofilament thread (brands listed above) Jeans Stitch thread- 30 weight -heavier thread for more texture One spool of rayon and/or metallic thread 202 Serendipitous Scraps by Wendy Butler Berns Friday, March 13, 2009 All Levels Scrap quilts have a lot of personality and use lots of fabric from our stash. We will cover techniques for managing a wide variety of fabrics to create a lively project. Hands on exercises exploring value and color will be included as well as ideas for considering new and unusual border ideas. Using a simple half-square triangle pattern, we will have fun exploring the endless design possibilities we will have with our scrap quilt blocks. Students can do some of the cutting prior to class and there is the option of trading fabric squares between other students if desired. Supply List - Serendipitous Scraps Workshop Assembling this quilt top will be a relatively simple assembly line process, but the cutting is what will take the most time. If you can choose fabrics and do a lot of the cutting prior to class, you will have more time in class to explore the design and layout of your 1/2 square triangles. Remember the more random the fabric choices, the more unique your quilt will be. Machine in good working order, 1/4 presser foot Rotary cutting supplies

7 Serendipitous Scrap Pattern - Available from instructor at the guild meeting or the day of class for $8.00 General sewing supplies and thread Flannel covered design board approx. 3 ft x 4 ft.- a piece of insulation or foam core works well Iron and pressing surface- one for every 3 to 4 students Fabric needed: For inner pieced quilt top. Border fabric will be discussed in pattern. For a scrap quilt, the greater variety of fabrics, the more interesting it will be. Light, medium, dark values, various scale prints(small, medium, large), plaids, stripes, theme fabric, favorite fabrics that you have in your stash. The more fabric you use, the more tedious the cutting process will be, but it will be worth it! You could use as many as different fabrics. 1. Sort Fabric: Light/Light medium, Medium, Dark Use value/contrast rule when selecting and sorting fabrics. 2. Cutting Fabric: Strip piece method to create 1/2 square triangles: Light/light medium: Total yardage needed approx. 1 3/4 yards. Cut a total of 120 blocks 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 Select 12 fabrics, cut 1 strip from each fabric 3 7/8 x 42, sub-cut each strip into 10 blocks of 3 7/8 squares Mediums: Total yardage needed approx. 1 yard Cut a total of 60 blocks 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 Select 6 fabrics, cut 1 strip from each fabric 3 7/8 x 42, sub-cut each strip into 10 blocks of 3 7/8 squares Darks: Total yardage needed approx. 1 yard Cut a total of 60 blocks 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 Select 6 fabrics, cut 1 strip from each fabric 3 7/8 x 42, sub-cut each strip into 10 blocks of 3 7/8 squares Cutting/fussy cut method: For a greater scrappy look, using lots of small amounts of fabrics. Lay several pieces of fabric on top of each other that are at least 4 1/2 square and cut out 3 7/8 squares using the total block amounts listed above for the light/light medium, medium, dark values listed above. These fabric amounts will get you started. There will be some additional fabrics needed for borders, but border options will be discussed in the workshop and fabric choices and amounts can be determined later. If you have time before the workshop - 3. Sorting blocks: Take and randomly place one light/light medium square on a dark or medium square, right sides together. Using a straight edge, draw a diagonal line from corner to corner with a line that shows on the fabric. If you use the light fabric side, a pencil should show up sufficiently. You will have a total of 120 square units 3 7/8 x 3 7/8. Lay the completed units in a gift box or shoebox for easy transporting to class. 4. Come to class ready to sew and design. You will still need your rotary cutting supplies for future steps. Diagram here to show marking fabric Two fabric blocks 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 placed right sides together. Use a pencil lightly on the light

HARRIET HARGRAVE

18 105 3-Day Master Machine Piecing - Framed Medallion 57 X57 Class is full Early Registration was held I put together the elements of this reproduction quilt with the idea in mind of learning various precision piecing techniques, then putting the units together into a charming medallion style quilt top. Among the topics covered: Straightening fabric grain Finding your perfect seam allowance Pressing and starching for precision Basic strip piecing 4 patch units Working with triangles accurately Precise flying geese Quarter square triangles Alignment and squaring for flat, straight quilts Supply list: Sewing Machine please bring your favorite machine, and have it serviced before class to assure excellent working condition. Extension plate or sewing table that attaches to your open arm machine for working surface. 1/4" Presser Foot - bring the foot that you piece with the most accurately. Be sure that the presser foot has visibility up to the needle. (If you own a Bernina, I would strongly suggest you purchase a #13 straight stitch foot and bring it. Also bring the guide bar from your attachment box, see page 41 in Art of Classic Quiltmaking.) Any kind of seam guide that may attach to the bed of your machine. Thread 50/3 cotton, neutral color 75/11 machine needles Scissors Basic sewing supplies Rotary cutter and mat Rulers please be sure all the rulers are of the same brand 6" x 24" 6" or 6.5" square 12" or 16" square Lamp for use at machine

19 Iron and small iron surface Spray Starch heavy finish Fabric requirements 1/2 yard each of three different backgrounds (I used three different light toile's) 1/8-yard dark brown for Le Moyne Star 1/4-yard each of four different reproduction blues 1/2-yard multi color floral 1/4-yard light brown print (triangle border) 1/2-yard brown print for flying geese 1/8-yard med/dark brown stripe (1st strip border) 1/8-yard med/dark brown 2nd border 1/4-yard dark print 3rd strip border 1/4-yard each four different brown prints for quarter-square triangle units 1 3/4-yard stripe for outside border **These yardages are the minimum needed. I would strongly suggest that you bring extra yardage NOTE: the above yardage is based on color placement of the sample quilt shown below. Any color combination and placement could be used to meet your desires. Use the above reference as a way of deciding where and how much fabric is needed. I would suggest bringing too much as opposed to too little fabric, and alternative selections to ease the design element as we build the units. 405 Quilt as Desired This is Harriet s question and answer class for machine quilting ideas, issues, problem solving, and is based on all her books. If you ve had Heirloom Machine Quilting from Harriet, she has taught you everything she knows about the techniques and technicalities of beginning machine quilting. If you ve put into practice what you learned, you know the true secret is taking that information and putting it into practice. So as a beginner or advanced beginner, what do you do after you practice? Ever get tired of the phrase in all the pattern books "Quilt As Desired"? Where do you go now? Even if you have not had the machine quilting class, the same questions and concerns come up. What do I do now? Harriet feels that there is a definite lack of basic information in quilt making that causes endless frustrations and problems for quilt makers and quilts alike. This class is structured as a lecture / discussion / roundtable format so that it is based on group participation. This class has been very successful, even though students don t feel they could learn enough without sewing. Think again - you can sew at home, but where do you go for ideas and help once the problems occur?! Students have the opportunity to bring their problems to a troubleshooting situation and everyone learns from everyone else s problems. A very comfortable and nonthreatening atmosphere is generated.

20 Students are required to bring their quilt tops and quilts to class so that problems can be seen as they are discussed, as well as getting ideas for batting choices, stencil designs, quilting ideas, marking tools, caring for quilted quilts, and on and on. The topics are only limited to the participants needs. A tremendous amount of ideas and information can be generated in this class. Often we wind up back to the basic grain of the fabric and cutting of strips to identify why a quilt is behaving in a certain manner. The students needs and questions direct the class, so that no two workshops are ever the same. This class is a natural progression for beginning machine-quilting students. It directs questions like how do I quilt it?, what do I do next?, and what in the world does Quilt As Desired mean??? SKILL LEVEL: ALL - THIS CLASS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ADVANCED BEGINNERS, BUT ALL SKILL LEVELS LEAVE WITH NEW IDEAS NOTE: this class is limited to 20 students because of time restraints. Quilt As Desired Supply List -- 2 or more quilt tops that you need help with or ideas for -- Heirloom Machine Quilting by Harriet Hargrave (optional) -- Notebook and pencil -- Any quilt tops that you would like help with, suggestions on quilting styles, trouble any part of the construction, etc. -- Any books of quilting designs that you may have -- Any questions that you have in general about quilting - batting selection, thread selection, fabric care, etc. -- Your ideas and an open fresh mind NOTE: This class revolves around the quilt tops that you bring, so please do not be shy! Everyone must bring quilt tops for this class to be worthwhile!!

21 NANCY HINDS 106 Quick Scrap Quilts Thursday, March 12, 2009 In this class each student will work on three different methods of piecing scraps into beautiful tops. No more cutting each piece individually! You will work with color, value, and contrast to understand what makes a sparkling quilt from odds and ends of fabrics. This is also a fantastic way to use up those 6" squares you've collected. These can be combined into one quilt, or get a start on three separate quilts. Supply List Fabrics: two strips of fabric, one light and one dark, cut 3" x 42" one strip of any type of fabric, cut 6" x 42" forty squares of assorted fabrics, cut 6" x 6"----If you have collected 6 1/2" squares, then it's fine to use them. Try to get a good mix of light, medium, and dark fabrics. Neutral thread rotary cutter, mat, 6"x24" ruler, and 6" or larger square ruler sewing machine and accessories, including a 1/4" piecing foot Basic sewing supplies...seam ripper, scissors, pins, pencil, etc Extension cord Optional: Value finder Patterns or photos of scraps quilts you would like to make

22 206 Easy, Breezy Bargello Friday, March 13, 2009 Using fabric strips, in a series of colors and textures, students will construct a dramatic Bargello wallhanging. With this method, you won't have to match seams or follow a precise pattern. Beginners as well as experienced quilters will find this technique simple and easy with beautiful results! These wallhangings make wonderful Christmas gifts and decorations for the any room in the house. Supply List : Fabrics: You will need 10 different fabrics for the central part of the quilt. Basically you want to choose two colors to work with. At least two of these ten fabrics need to contain both colors, so that the colors will appear to blend into each other. The wider strip should also contain both colors, preferably a busy type of print. Totally you will need...nine different fabric strips that are 2" x 42" each one strip that is 6" x 42" NOTE: It is fine to use fat quarters for all of these strips. Simply cut two strips of each fabric instead of one, whether it's the 2" wide strips or the 6" wide strip. The first border...three strips 3/4" x 42". This should be something that reads as a solid, but should not be in the central part of the piece. The second border...three strips 4 1/2" x 42". This can be the same as your wide strip. Looks good to have a print that ties both colors together. Binding...three strips 2" x 42" NOTE: You will not need the binding or backing in the class. Backing...1 yard Neutral Thread Rotary cutter, mat and 6"x 24" ruler. You need the large mat for this class, but you can share the mat with another student if you wish.
