  "Welsh Quilting" with Tia Curtis

  Join Tia Curtis as she makes intricate, glorious Welsh Style quilting as easy as pie. Tia Curtis will give you a little history on the most beautiful and passionate of all the quilting styles and break down the designs into simple steps for you to elevate any border into an instant show stopper.  She will also show how to work in some fabulous medallions. You will learn to mark your quilt with minimal lines and incorporate some of the best quilting rulers to quilt the bones of several border styles then fill them in with the best Welsh designs. While the quilting looks complicated it is just a matter of taking the proper steps and knowing a couple tricks. These skills can be used on the long arm or on the domestic machine. If you are a hand quilter, the same techniques will work for you as well.

  "Bella Vista Landscapes" with Helene Knott

                            
  

  The vistas in these small quilted projects represent a crosscut of ocean, lake, river, and mountain scenes. Students will work from a pattern of choice in the Bella Vista series to create a small, unique landscape. I call this my instant gratification class, the projects will be fused for speed and efficiency resulting in a project where most students will leave the class with a finished mini-landscape top ready to layer and quilt. This class is an excellent introduction to the principles of creating striking landscape quilts. The small size means students can explore ideas without a huge commitment of time and materials, making these mini landscapes an ideal stepping stone to creating larger scenic quilts with confidence. The focus of the class is on creating a variety of seasonal and atmospheric conditions that make landscape quilts an ever fascinating foray into design variations, and each student’s quilt will be unique.

  There are a variety of patterns to choose from.  Each student will receive one pattern of their choice at no additional cost with workshop enrollment.  Additional patterns available for $10 each.  Optional kits available for some of the simpler patterns, $25 each.

         

  Skill Level: All

  Charity Work Party

  Come help the Charity Committee prepare quilt tops for quilting.

  Join the fun as we match tops with backs, cut binding strips, cut batting, and create bundles ready for quilting. 

  Please see the Supply List, and bring as many items as possible. Don't forget to label your supplies with your name. 
  

  We have several larger quilt tops that need pieced backs. If you can bring your sewing machine and help piece backs that will be so appreciated!

  If you don't know how to do some of these things, now is your chance to learn. We'll show you how! 

  The Charity team will be picking up quilt tops, backing fabric, and batting at the Charity storage unit, but we will need help bringing it into the meeting room and then carting it back to our vehicles for the trip back to the storage unit.

  We appreciate your help so very much! Thank you!

  "The Watercolor Quilt" with Audrey Esarey

  
  

  The Watercolor Quilt is a wall hanging made from one large block that uses curved piecing to create the illusion of transparency from overlapping circles.  The class will cover Audrey's process for building a fabric gradation and tips and tricks for stress-free curved piecing.  Take the guesswork out of color selection by using one of the published color gradations inside the pattern!  The Watercolor Quilt finishes at 32 x 32 inches.

  Audrey is offering a 20% discount on her patterns.  Use the code QA2024.  This code can be used by all QA members, not just workshop participants. 

  Skill Level: Intermediate

  Supply List: Here

  Learn more about our speaker here
  

  Workshop Fee: $65 for Members

  Pattern:  In addition to paying the workshop fee, workshop participants must purchase the pattern via Audrey's website www.CottonandBourbon.com ($14, less the 20% discount noted above).  Please see the Supply List for information regarding the pattern and paper templates that will be available for purchase at the class for $5 in order to save you the hassle of printing and correctly sizing the pieces.

  "Amazing Abstracts" with Julia Graves
  

  

  Create an abstract quilt that has amazing movement and drama. Go from inspiration to a simple sketch, then have fun “coloring” your sketch with bits of fabric to create a mock-up of your design – see before you sew!  The design is gridded and blocks are foundation pieced using an easy sew and flip method with room for creativity and improvisation.  Lots of discussion of design principles and how to use color and value to create the drama and desired effects.  Based on the techniques of Ursula Kern (with her permission of course!). For this one day class, students will start with a base pattern of spiral or a star burst and add their own coloration and value choices.  Most participants will complete several blocks in class. 

  Skill Level:  All levels

  "Modern Quilting with Your Walking Foot" with Melissa Marginet    

  
  

  Melissa Marginet is a Canadian quilt maker, author, teacher and quilt pattern designer.  She has a passion for teaching, and her focus is to help people gain the confidence to quilt their quilts on their home sewing machines with a walking foot.  

  In this technique workshop, you will make samples of different quilting designs that can be executed on your home sewing machine with a walking foot.  You will create samples of walking foot designs on small quilt sandwiches to help you understand what makes each design successful.  In the class, you will also look at variations of the designs you stitch out.  The samples you make in class will be a great reference for you when deciding how to quilt your next quilt.  

  Skill Level:  All levels.

  Supply List:  The supply list is available here.  

  Book Availability:  Melissa's book, Walking Foot Quilting Designs, is recommended but is not required for the workshop.  We expect to have copies of this book as well her book Edge-to-Edge Walking Foot Quilting Designs available for sale at the Sept., Oct. and Nov. QA meetings to save you the effort and shipping cost of ordering individually.

  
  

  Workshop Fee: $40 for Members
