Changing
Places*
This workshop is
based around a more advanced piecing block, however the workshop
has been developed to allow each student to make their own
design of quilt, working with the common centre block in various
ways. Each person is able to decide on the degree of difficulty
they would like to attempt, then select border and unit designs
from several different options given, to create their own
look.
Two size variations
are also provided, each with a different set of options. Border
fabrics and printed squares are used in one variation, keeping
the design simple for newer quilters, whereas other variations
include foundation piecing, curved features, appliqué
and several piecing techniques. More details about selection
appear on requirements list.
With lots of
variation in skill levels, this workshop is suited to all
from beginner to more advanced workers.
Pinwheel Quillow
Another
practical quilt that converts to a pillow. This one is great
for scraps, two colours or a varied colour scheme. A quick
block construction using rotary cutting and great for the
angler tool. Make from cot to single size.
Diamond Log Cabin
Using
different size logs create a hexagonal tablecloth or quilt
where the design features a central star or circle design
(depending on fabric choice and layout) inside a star inside
the hexagon. This can create a dramatic look using graduating
tones or a more subtle finish with less fabrics. Learn more
about your rulers with rotary cutting skills using angles
as a major part of this workshop.
Christmas Tree Skirt (or circular quilt)
This
workshop features the wedge ruler to create a circular design
quilt, with borders that chevron around . Make a wall hanging
for above a door or sideboard. Find out that circle quilts
can be fun, and not as daunting as they may seem.

in the one quilt: Stars, flying geese, basket, log cabin,
mariner's compass, and more during the workshop. More advanced

centre of a larger quilt. Both foundation piecing and quick
dresden flowers are used in this project, with pre cutting
to enable a quick start to construction.
A Slice of Tradition
This workshop is a two day designing class starting with traditional
block designs. Each student will be creating his/her own new
block or blocks, with the help of mirrors, and taking different
segments from the original design. Patterns are created, then
each student will design and start to make a medallion or
small quilt. The quantities listed in requirements should
give each person scope to design freely and have plenty of
variety in their design.

has many different arrangements. The centre can be a square

later add some appliqué to give it your own touch.
