Still Folding Quilts- an Online Group Workshop – October 8th and October 29th

This is an online course consisting of a one-hour, ‘Get Ready!’ session where I show you how I choose colours, go through the pattern and what you need to prep. I will also show you how to draw the folded borders. The ‘Get Ready!’ session is followed a few weeks later by a four-hour group session, all via zoom. The workshop consists of two one-hour demo’s by me, each followed by solo sewing and questions by you.

Learning objectives:

Still Folding Quilts uses colour value and FPP’ed ‘folded’ borders to create an origami feel. We will spend a chunk of our time playing with these borders and looking at making them wider, adding rows and changing the angles. With this knowledge under your belt you’ll be able to adapt your borders to fit all sizes of Drunkard’s Path blocks and quilts.

In the, ‘Get ready!’ session I will show you how to use TouchDraw or paper to draw your own borders in preparation for the workshop but ready made FPP border templates will be included too. We will also talk through the pattern and what else you need to prep.

The workshop is based on the Still Folding Quilts pattern and the NEW Oval and Long Oval Multiple DP templates in combination with the Multiple DP set. I will teach you all my tricks for sewing tight curves and how to get the multiple curves to match up. If you are daunted by the sharpness of those bends, I’ll give you tips on how to make this pattern easier for you (but give it a try first!). There will also be ideas on how to use other PSS templates to create the look of depth for those of you who already have my templates and is managing to resist the NEW sets;)
