Krista’s Cutting Garden Workshop

Krista Hennebury Cutting Garden (70” x 58” Lap Quilt)

Krista published this Poppyprint pattern in Australian Homespun June 2015. This beautiful scrappy garden is a generous lap size, featuring a charming rainbow colourwash of leafy stalks topped by primitive, sweet blooms. Students will learn to piece curves without pins along with machine applique techniques for bias tape and “fabric stickers”. Some pre-cutting is required. This is a perfect quilt for using up scraps and trading with classmates!

A one-stalk table runner featuring a bloom at either end is a simpler option for those looking to make a smaller project. The table runner is 18” x 70”.

Krista will bring along a Sizzix cutting machine and dies for cutting the ½ square triangles and 2” squares required for this project, so bring your pressed scraps and run them through the Sizzix!

Pattern Fee: $10/student. Krista will have patterns for sale at the March guild meeting.

For information contact the Workshop Coordinator Karen.

Apliquick Workshops

APLIQUICK is a new revolutionary technique for appliqué, traditional or contemporary.

This Apliquick technique is innovative, quick, easy and perfect for appliqué projects, not only for small pieces but also for large ones.

During this class you will learn how to make a perfect medium size appliqué project as well as a miniature one. You will discover how easy it is to adapt the different metallic sticks to your project.

And finally you will learn how to realize any kind of shapes, sharp pointed, hexagons, curves and many more …

The teacher will demonstrate how to machine appliqué the small pieces, but the class will mainly be hand work.

In this course you will learn the technique for the realization of perfect applications, a medium piece will be made, to learn how to use the APLIQUICKs perfectly, a miniature will be made to learn the ease that this new technique gives to make extremely small pieces.

And finally you will learn to make any type of shape, either angles (open approximately 90 degrees to the most closed, so that the peaks of the perfect pieces remain), circles, hexagons, among others.

Calling all Slow Stitchers

We are having a drop-in group on the Tuesday afternoon of Guild meetings, 2 to 4 p.m., and winter meetings to be arranged.

Learn some simple stitches and patterns for wool felt appliqué and other forms of hand stitching (e.g., regular appliqué, kawandi quilts, embroidery). We will teach each other for a while, and later we can ask Uschi Greiner to come and teach more complex things.
