Fabric Strip Club

Once again it is Fabric Strip Club this Saturday 14th April. 8:30am - 10am.
Come along and I will demonstrate the techniques used to make this lovely quilt - in fact I made 2 quilts this time, quite different looking so you can see how versatile this pattern is. Very easy to make as well.
If you decide to purchase anything whilst you are here then you will receive 10% off the total purchase price. Patterns are a special "Strip Club" price of $6. See what you can make using 2 1/2" wide strips of patchwork fabric. Will show the quilt(s) after Saturday so you can see what I am talking about. Scroll below to an earlier post to see what I did for club #1 & #2.

Blue Bayou Quilt Class

I have a couple of vacancies in the Blue Bayou Quilt class on Sunday 15th April. Just give me a call and I can send you the needs list. Picture of the quilt below -
This is a simple quilt to put together the basics, creating a "stained glass" effect, but then you cut into the pattern and create a new section. This is a little more challenging but that is the reason you come to class, so I can help you along the journey. Look at making your own version, can be any colour choice you like.

Fabric Strip Club #3

Fabric Strip Club #3 is coming up in a couple of weeks - Saturday 14th April.
I am busy working on creating a new design and very happy with the way it is going together. Have cut the fabrics and sewn most of them into blocks, now to put them together. This time I picked the border fabric and then picked the roll fabrics from the colours in this border.
Thought you might like to see the quilt I made from the blue/green/purple roll from #2
Although it looks like it is sewn on point, it is not, all straight cut and sewn blocks.So reminds me of a tile floor, which is why I called it Persian Tiles.
Why not look at coming along from 8:30am on Saturday 14th April to see the techniques used to put the next quilt together and to see the "great" unveiling of the quilt top. Fabric rolls will be available for sale, along with the patterns (patterns are at a reduced rate for that day - only $6 each) and anything you purchase on the day will attract a 10% discount. Plus a couple of giveaways as well.
Look forward to seeing you there.
