STRING PIECING – Building on Tradition
by Shelly Burge
This workshop will demonstrate the technique of adding string pieced fabrics to
traditional quilt block patterns to create unique new designs. It is a fun and creative
class with lots of room to explore. Students will learn to look at quilt blocks in a whole
new way.
Supply List: Bring an assortment of fat quarters or 1/4 yard pieces of fabrics (10 to
15 fabrics) in your choice of colors (select light, medium and dark values), you could
also bring some large scrap pieces of fabric, a drafting ruler (I like the Quilter’s SeeThru Drafting ruler), 1/4 inch graph paper, colored pencils, scissors, neutral color
piecing thread, pins, medium size rotary cutting mat with ruler and rotary cutter,
sewing machine with extension cord, iron and ironing pad.

There is still room in Cathy Wierzbicki’s Pineapple Nine-Patch workshop this Saturday, March 19.  It will be held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Room 200 from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.   Workshop registration $25.  Cathy will be teaching a large quilt (you’ll need to buy her book for that) as well as some small projects for which you will receive the patterns FREE.     Contact Sharon Lesan for more information at sharonlesan@yahoo.com or 965-5608.  Cathy will also be at the Friday night UFO Sew-In the night before (Mar. 18) at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall and will have samples and the supply list there.

Cathy Wierzbicki will be returning to Ankeny in late March and has offered to do a workshop on Saturday, March 19 (and hopes to join us for the Friday night sew-in on the 18th).  This will be announced at both the December and January meetings to see if there is enough interest.  Contact Sharon Lesan at sharonlesan@yahoo.com if you want to sign up.

This year, we are trying some things that we hope will make it easier for you to participate in workshops

They are all scheduled on Saturdays at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Room 200.
