February 25 2023 Workshop
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the past, you may have bought a plastic template to make a certain quilt block. Now you can design and make your own curved templates for repeated blocks.
We start with the basics of making templates (from freezer paper!) and move to a confident approach for sewing curved seams (that are flat!). The workshop project is a simple baby quilt filled with easy, repeated blocks—made with your own templates.

"All About Fabric: An Insiders View of the Industry
Learn why we are now paying up to $14.00 a yard. It’s all about the fabric industry, about the three types of printed fabrics: batiks, flat printed and digital. Being an Ambassador for Hoffman Fabrics, working with the Hoffman family, pattern designing, curating, setting up their challenge as well as giving warehouse tours, I have lots to share. I think you’ll find this information insightful and interesting.

Twinkle:
Improvisational Design and Technique Class
 |
Twinkle is both easy to make it and to make it modern with your fabric choices and color blocking. The block is a liberated star. I fell in love with it when I made my super-sized star quilt. No two blocks are alike… different sizes, colors, fabrics, dimensions! This makes it so personal and unique. |

"Everything but the Cotton"
 |
Let’s explore the world of quilts that were made with what I call ‘Not Cottons’. When quilters don’t have access to a stash of quilter’s cotton, what do they turn to? This one hour lecture, trunk show and Q & A session shows quilts – antique and modern – made of wool, silk, polyester and more. The trunk show of my own work shows what you can create with neckties, saris, kimonos and other unusual, ‘not cotton’ textiles. |
Workshop September 15
9am - 3pm In-Person
"Starting With Silk"
To prepare for this class, watch these short videos on How to Deconstruct a Necktie and Applying Fusible Interfacing. Many of us have silk treasures from trips abroad, neckties or prom dresses that are too special to cut up so we leave them tucked away in a drawer or box. It’s time to get them out and make something beautiful! This workshop has three elements: You’ll begin by determining the fiber content of your fabrics by using the burn test. We will then cover two very different ways to work with silk: First, a very free, improvisational piecing technique I call ‘Pieces, Pairs and Panels’ and second, a foundation piecing method that gives stability and ultra-precise results, even with the lightest weight silks. Working with your stash, you’ll construct elements in these two techniques that can be combined into a small, pillow-sized finished piece. There is no required kit, but the following will be for sale at the workshop: |

“Do you have a treasure trove of unused scraps in bins and ziplock bags stuffed in every corner of your sewing space? Do you struggle with what to do with all these special leftovers from your beloved quilts?
Fret no longer, tiny piecing is here!
Giucy Giuce designed the foundation paper pieced Mini Series with scrap busting in mind. These patterns are designed to be made in a variety of sizes, ranging from 1" to almost 8" (some can be made even larger when combined). Join Giucy Giuce as he teaches you all the tips and tricks for tiny piecing success.
These blocks are more than just cute little quilts. Use them to embellish bags and pockets, make holiday ornaments or coasters with them, frame them for your studio... the possibilities are endless! This class is ALWAYS a blast! Don't be intimidated by the size of the piecing. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve with just a little courage.No prior FPP experience required.”

Part 1: Your Quilt Entries
Be thinking about a quilt (any size) you've made since the beginning of the pandemic. That's the only requirement! This could be a quilt you're still working on or one you want to make between now and December 15. It might be one you finished in March 2020! It's up to you. Again, any size, any theme, any color.Sometime between now and December 15 take two pictures of your quilt - one of the entire quilt and the other a close-up - on your front porch or by your front door. If you live in an apartment and the hallway really isn't conducive to good photos, feel free to take a picture outside in the yard or at the park or wherever. Your front door or porch or out- door spot can be decorated for the holidays or not - up to you!
Send your two photos to: zoom@coastalquilterssb.org by December 15 with the subject, "Festive Quilt Show." We'll compile them into an online show for our Zoom party on December 22!
AND / OR...Part 2: Your Craft Entries
Submit up to 3 ccrafty creations. They can be holiday related... or not! Take two photos of each - one of your entire crea- tion and the other a close-up - in front of your front door or on your front porch, or, in the absence of those, an outdoor spot. Submit those photos to zoom@coastalquilterssb.org by December 15 with the subject “Festive Quilt Show" and we'll include them in our online show on December 22.So you know your assignment, if you choose to accept it... and we hope you will!! Along with every- thing else planned for that online get-together, we think this will be a fun time!
