3 Instructors & Workshops Rita Wasney I would love to share a no pins curved technique. The Drunkard s Path now has another new look using the Crazy Curve Template. This looks wonderful in batiks light, medium and dark or black and white. The sky is the limit for colors. Class: Crazy Curve Drunkard Path Time: Friday 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm Fee: $20.00 Come and have fun with making the curved block Drunkard Path. Learn to sew the block on your machine with no pins. You will be hooked on this method in no time. This can be an exercise on technique, or stay and finish a quilt top. Fabric: Fabrics that work with each other for samples of blocks Sewing machine, extension cord, rotary cutter, mat Basic sewing kit and thread. I suggest 7 Crazy Curves Templates (available at Quilt shops) OR the 8 Crazy Curve Rainbow Template (4 templates and 3 ½ templates are optional) Class: Lollipoppies Wall Hanging 47 x 28 Time: Saturday 9:00 am 3:30 pm Fee: $30.00 (plus pattern $10.00-if required please advise at waz@mts.net ) This is a wonderful McKenna Ryan pattern, which can be made with her fabric line or use your own batiks or others fabric. More fabric choices make it interesting. Fabric: Flowers, Leaves and Stems (10 to 14 of each 1/6 th to 1/8 th yard pieces, or fat quarters work) The largest flower is 10 inches across. 3 yards of heat and bond lite (or steam a seam 2) Batting and backing approximately 52 x 33 Background 2 yards,( Minimum of 4 fabrics) Sewing machine, extension cord, rotary cutter, mat, rulers and any basic supplies you like to sew with.

4 Instructors & Workshops Heather Lair Class: Fabric Pennants Time: Friday 7:30 pm 9:30pm Fee: $15.00 These little fabric pennants are my new love in the quilting world. Reusable, decorative, creative, good gifts, patriotic, seasonal There is no end to the possibilities when making pennants! We will make three or four types of pennants in class and you will understand the potential with this project. If you have a few quilt blocks or UFO s hanging around, this is a good place to cut them up, embellish, decorate and rejuvenate the fabric that first inspired you. Sewing machine Rotary kit Scissors, seam ripper etc. Materials: Lengths of seam binding, ribbon, rickrack UFO s you want to recycle Assorted threads Scraps of thin (low loft) quilt batting Fancy bells, beads, buttons, rivets, sparkle dust and/or ribbons Scraps of fabric anything goes here, fabric samples, lace, napkins, batik, hand painted, tapestry, silk scarves, denim, linen Class: Torn Strip Appliqué Time: Saturday 9:30 am 3:30 pm Fee: $35.00 At the 2010 retreat I introduced this technique in a very short class. This year we will spend the full day with it to give you time to become comfortable with the technique, and make your own art. Torn Strip Appliqué is a new technique that I have been developing for landscapes and art quilts. The potential for creativity with this technique is amazing, and I look forward to see what happens here! In class we will start with a post card sized project (I will supply all the materials for this part). I will help you get set up with another art piece. Warning: this project is messy! Threads everywhere Materials: Sewing machine Rotary cutting kit Scissors etc. Topstitch needles #12 or 14 Machine sewing thread 1 m Peltex # 72F (Two sided fusible stiff interfacing) ½ m backing fabric ½ m base fabric Cotton fabric for strips. If you want to make a landscape, bring a pile of landscape fabric. If you want to make an art piece, just bring a pile with the colours you would like to use. I like the way batik fabric looks in this project, but commercial cottons work too.

5 Heather Lair continued. Class: Return of the Fabric Post Cards Time: Sunday 10:00 am 12 Noon Fee: $25.00 This class returns by request from last year s quilters! We will make 3 different postcards in this class. I am supplying kits so just bring a box of thread, your machine and basic sewing tools (rotary cutter/mat/ruler, scissors etc). I do recommend special sewing machine needles for this project- Topstitch #12 or 14, and Microtex Sharp needles #8 Techniques used in this class will include thread painting, Broderie Persé, landscapes and mixed media art cards.
