there’s no quilting police in this class.
This could easily be the most fun
you’ve ever had cutting and sewing a
quilt together. If you’ve wanted to try
improvisational cutting and piecing,
here is your opportunity. With some
guidance on how to cut without
rulers, and a bit of practice, you will
be piecing quilt tops together in a
day. You will be shown a few
assembly tricks that will guarantee a
perfectly flat quilt top. You’ll be able
to create your own quilt recipe to
make unique ‘one of a kind’ quilts.

QUILT ENCOUNTER 2017
JULY 14TH - 20TH 2017
Immanuel College
32 Morphett Rd
Novar Gardens
South Australia
EVERY WHICH WAY - Saturday 15th July
A great quilt design for stash busting
and featuring those special fabrics you’ve been saving. It uses twenty-one different fabrics; sixteen are patterned
fabrics and another five solids for the borders, sashings and circles.
This modern quilt will give you the
opportunity to practice your cutting, sewing and quilting skills. I will
show you a simple technique to insert circles into the quilt top. You’ll also
learn where the technique can be adapted to other shapes and situations.
I will give you guidance on how to quilt your work,
as each of the sixteen blocks is quilted using a different design. Most
quilting will be completed after the class.
Geese On The Table - Sunday 16th July
This small project can be adapted to make many more complex designs. Geese On The Table is a great introduction to ‘freezer paper’ foundation paper piecing. In this class you will be shown how to draught your own pattern and learn the basics of foundation paper piecing using the ‘freezer paper’ technique. This is a great way of achieving perfect accuracy with your points. The class also includes the technique of sewing incomplete seams. We’ll have time in this class to complete the table topper. I will show you some other ideas for using your pieced quilt top.
RETRO TABLE RUNNER - Monday 17th July
A funky modern table runner is put together wising what I call 'puzzle appliqué'. this technique will give you practice in precision machine stitching. the whole runner top is pieced together like a puzzle then layered with the batting and backing. Using satin stitch, all the layers are then quilted together. to finish off the runner, mitred corners and a self border finishes the edges. the is project will have you thinking where else this technique can be applied. I will bring samples to show how adaptable this method is.
HOT CHILLIES - Wednesday 19th July
Throw
the rules out the window, there’s no quilting police in this class. This could
easily be the most fun you’ve ever had cutting and sewing a quilt together. If
you’ve wanted to try improvisational cutting and piecing, here is your
opportunity. With some guidance from Wendy on how to cut without rulers, and a
bit of practice, you will be piecing quilt tops together in a day. Wendy will
show you a few assembly tricks that will guarantee a perfectly flat quilt top.
You’ll be able to create your own quilt recipe to make unique ‘one of a kind’
quilts. You should be able to complete a small quilt top in this class.
KITES IN THE PARK - Thursday 20th July
This workshop will introduce you to ‘freezer
paper’ foundation paper piecing. This technique eliminates the tedious time
consuming method of old, where paper has to be torn away from the work. The
paper is folded out of the way when sewing and once the design is complete, the
paper is simply peeled off the fabric. This technique is extremely accurate and
can be used in place of traditional foundation paper piecing. I will also show
you how to obtain perfectly sewn curves. There will be enough time in class to
complete the cushion front and possibly some of the quilting.
