Class Supply List!
The objective in this workshop is for students to learn the basics, and the fun and freedom of free-form piecing!
Students will bring
scraps and strips to share with
others in the class so that everyone has a variety of fabrics to play
with. I will demonstrate a variety of ways to piece crumb blocks
including wonky log cabin, string, and free form. I'll bring my own
Crumb quilts for inspiration.
Please come with a basket, a box, a bin, a bag of scraps you've had sitting around! Bring strings (long tapered strips), strips, squares, bricks, trimmings from joining binding on the bias, odd sized triangles, left over binding pieces....in a wide variety of colors! Lights, darks, mediums, prints, solids, batiks, calicoes, bring it ALL!
In addition to your fabric you will need the basics:
Sewing machine in working order (including power cords and extention cords)
Thread, scissors, seam ripper,pins and any other notions you usually sew with.
Rotory cutter, mat and ruler.
I like a variety of rulers, and for crumb piecing, I really love a 6" or 6.5" square ruler. Other ruler sizes I often use are 3.5" square, a 5" square ( This one was a dear jane ruler, and I really like the size of it, but it isn't mandatory....) and a regular 6.5" X 12.5" ruler.
During this class we will learn different compositions of blocks! Most can be made without a foundation, however, some blocks work better WITH a foundation, and I use phone book pages because they are thin and tear easily for removal.
We will be working with the following free form blocks:
Simple Crumb Shapes
Squares, rectangles, strips and strips.
Wonky Log Cabins!
Making it all fit together~
In this quilt "ANYTHING" goes! Use it up, get it out of the scrap stash!
I look forward to scrappy fun with your guild for this workshop!
