Skill Level: Beginning, Intermediate Supply List: Twisted Sisters Rotary Template & Pattern is required and can be purchased in class for $17. Bring: sewing machine, neutral thread, rotary cutters, mat and ruler. Fabric can be totally scrappy, coordinated, or in between. Bring equal amounts of paired lights and darks or paired color #1 and color #2. Fat quarters or “regular” yardage both work. (Each pair of fat quarters yields three blocks; each pairing of "regular" yardage yields six blocks and some extra pieces.) Fabric for 3½" x 3½" block centers (color #3 or a repeat of #1 or #2) are also required. Bring sashing fabric if desired or as safety net if your cutting/sewing techniques aren’t the best. The greater variety of fabrics, the more fun. Don’t haul more than 10 pounds. Overachievers may cut strips from each pair into 3½" x 22" (twist) and 5¼" x 22" (background) strips if working with Fat Quarters, or 3½" x 44" (twist) and 5¼" x 44" (background) strips if working with full-width yardage. (This means, of course, that they will be committing to a block strategy without hearing what I have to say on fabric combinations. Who knows? I may say something important in class! Just a thought.)

I took your workshop in Naperville in March this year (2009) with my sister Pat Lipscomb and had a great time. Without reservation, I can say it’s the best workshop I’ve ever attended. Thanks so much!!! Dottie Soelke Naperville, IL I really enjoyed your class. You are a fun and encouraging teacher. The pattern is interesting and fun to sew. Thank you for everything. I can’t wait to finish my quilt and send you a picture. Carla Selberg, student at Maine Quilts (Augusta, ME) |
