Robin Pickens
Curved Piecing with Mod Flower Box or Beanstalk
For people new to curves, starting with a quarter circle is easier than half or full circles. Robin shows how she uses a paper template or the circle Savvy Ruler (CGRSAV1) from Creative Grids to make curves. Class shows pinning vs gluing techniques and exploring options for layouts and variations on the quilts. Select either the Beanstalk or Mod Flower Box pattern for your class project in the lap/wall size. The patterns can be applied to larger sized bed quilts. Participants need to purchase pattern.

Dora will help us make the "H" bag - an easy to make bag, perfect for shopping, or the farmer's market or holding unfinished projects. The "H" bag comes in two sizes and the left over fabric can be turned into a small zipper pouch. Perfect time to use your machine's zipper foot in class and see how easy it is to install a zipper. You will also learn how to box the corners of a bag which creates the true bottom of a bag. You have an option to make the Mini H bag, a separate pattern which offers two smaller sizes perfect for holding your knitting...
Dora will have dowels, patterns... available for purchase at the general meeting and the workshop. You can also purchase the pattern through the Orange dot Quilt Etsy shop:
