Thread Art for Quilters

11/3/2016

 
Did you play with a Spirograph™ as a child (or even as an adult)? At International Quilt Market, many people noted that the designs in my new quilt patterns reminded them of their Spirograph tool.

I released two Thread Art Quilts at Market.  The Embroidery/Quilt designs are also available for purchase.

Also -- if you are interested in in-person Electric Quilt training, I will be in Lees Summit MO from November 14-16.  More information below on this opportunity.

Introduction to EQ Refresher (Monday, November 15, 1-4) 
  
This class is focused on those who have previously taken an Introduction to Electric Quilt class, but are looking for a refresher on the basics of the program.     Level:  Advanced Beginner

Introduction to Easy Draw (Tuesday, November 15, 9-12)

Have you ever found the “perfect” block online.  But then realized you wanted to piece it a different way.  Maybe you want rotary cutting instructions or a foundation pattern.  Or maybe you want a different size to incorporate into a different quilt.  With Electric Quilt you can redraft these blocks.  This class will focus on how to “read a block” and then come up with the most efficient way to draft it with Electric Quilt.  The blocks in this class are those that can be done in a “grid” format – basically just like drawing with a pencil and graph paper.  Within Electric Quilt these blocks are drafted within Easy Draw.  Level:  Advanced Beginner.  ​

Whim Wham Stars (Wednesday, November 16th, 9-4)

Do you like gazing at twinkling stars on a clear night?  You can now put those stars on your bed.  The asymmetrical star used in the sashing will make it appear that the stars are dancing across the quilt.  Quilt may be completed with seven fabrics or may be scrapped using fat quarters.

Learn tips and tricks for using recommended specialty rulers while piecing this quilt.


Trunk Show plus Using Specialty Rulers for Enhanced Speed and Accuracy (9:00 AM, Monday, November 14th)

Prepare to be educated as I describe my design process, show beautiful quilts and demonstrate useful tools.  During this lecture, you will see several quilts from my current designs and often sneak peeks at new projects.  Many of my projects utilize over-sized piecing and subsequent trim-downs with rulers from Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design.  I will share tips for effectively using these rulers.
Happy quilting.
