Circles, Circles, Circles Workshop

with Terry Aske 

Register for Circles, Circles, Circles Workshop

Do you love the look of circles in quilts? But are you intimidated by sewing curves? Me too! I use a variety of techniques to create circles that are simple, easy and effective.

The workshop will cover:

  • an easy method to draw a circle any size
  • making and using freezer-paper templates
  • design your own 12-inch square circle block pattern
  • creating accurate circles using a freezer paper pattern and sewing flat overlapped seams
  • circles with raw edges, covered with bias tape (or couching or decorative stitching)
  • [optional] circles with turned-under edges, which are topstitched in place

You will design and make 12-inch blocks using a variety of techniques. The blocks could become a small wall-hanging, a pillow cover, or the start of a larger quilt. NOTE: this technique can be used for almost any shape, not just for circles.
