Arboretum

Intermediate
Choose
a range of green prints- from brilliant and bright to medium
and dark- for the leaves. The soft background
colors represent the sky and water while the pieced borders
depict colors of the earth. This
pattern uses many fabrics but in small amounts, so great for
using up small pieces from your stash. Picking
your leaf, sky, water and earth colors (fabrics) is
important and takes the usual up front planning to
prepare for class. Two options for attaching the leaves will
be demonstrated: sew in or machine appliqué. Other options
for the borders also possible. This pattern could be
enlarged to bed size.

All
Make
that finished quilt top completely your own by machine
quilting it yourself. Learn techniques and
tricks to freehand quilt numerous simple patterns and grids.
The basic goal of the class is to learn
techniques in freehand quilting, simple but impressive quilt
patterns and grids. We will discuss preparation
of each machine, the best way to make the quilt “sandwich”,
setting the proper tension, selecting
the right thread, the proper needle, and the pattern that
looks best on each quilt. We will begin with
small quilt sandwiches and graduate to a small quilt top..
Finally we will view many finished quilts, noting
the patterns used and the success of the pattern to best
show the pieced and/or appliquéd tops.

Civil War Soldier Quilt
Julie

All
During
the Civil War the women made quilts for their men who were
going off to war. Some quilts were
sent to the American Sanitary Commission to be stamped
before they issued them to soldiers. An
easy 9-patch quilt was made from material scraps and old
clothing. Today we have available 1800’s reproduction
materials to reproduce quilts from the Civil War era. Make
an 1800’s Stripy Scrap Quilt out
of 1800’s reproduction materials. Pattern size for nine
patch is 56” x 84” and 34” x 38” for the
four
patch but for Get-a-Way weekend you can customize a
nine-patch or a four-patch quilt or wall hanging
to meet your personal need. Julie has a Sanitary Commission
Stamp for each student. This quilt and
pattern was featured in the Feb.2005 issue of BH&G “American
Patchwork & Quilting” magazine.

What’s
your passion as in favorite color? Mine is red. This

Have fun choosing the fabrics and
be sure to bring them all with you to class. I can hardly
wait to see what your favorite passion
color will be.

Scrappy Circles

Intermediate
Scrappy
Circles is an intriguing new pattern I recently discovered.
Although the design looks difficult; once
you know the secret, the stitching is simple. It answers the
question - “How do I get a square peg in
a round hole?” The finished size is 56” x 72”, but can
easily be enlarged by adding additional blocks.
There
will be some pre-class cutting directions.

Chain of Events by Carolyn Griffin/Far-Flung Quilts
KC
Howell 330-722-8447 howellkc@mcsoh.org
Intermediate
A
fun scrappy quilt that combines “Goose Chase” and “54-40
or Fight” blocks. The pattern gives the illusion
of curves, although it is made using only straight seams.
Chain of Events calls for the Lazy Angle ruler
and the Flying Geese x 4 “No Math” rulers, but I’ve
modified it to use Tri-Recs and any Flying Goose
ruler (except Quilt in a Day.) The project is written to
complete at 42” x 58”, however it is easy to
change the size of the quilt by either changing the scale of
the blocks or increasing the numbers of
blocks. Chain of Events has several fabric variations: a) a
two-color quilt, such as red & white, blue
&
cream, red & black, etc. b) a single color scrappy
quilt, for example using many blues and a single
background
c) a multi-color scrappy quilt, using as few as 7 fat
quarters and a coordinating background, or
d) it can be made using (75) 6” dark squares and a neutral
background.

Marina Blues 68” x 68”
Barbara
Machol (216) 221-6337 quilterprogrammer@yahoo.com
Intermediate
A
two block quilt with the blocks made up of squares,
rectangles, half square triangle squares and flying
geese.
It is not a difficult quilt, but a good quarter inch is
important. This quilt requires no ‘before class’
stitching,
and possibly no after class either. It is a fun, no-stress
way to enjoy your getaway. As shown, this
is a blue quilt but would work with any single color or even
with a combination of colors. The values
are more important than the colors. I also like quilts with
secondary designs and this quilt has several
design features.

All
Creating
this quilt was a special experience. It traveled with me to
many parts of the U.S. as I taught my
classes. During those classes I demonstrated embellishment
techniques ‘live’ using this quilt for demonstration
purposes. At the same time I completed a quilt that reminds
me constantly of the garden
I love and am still developing. Declaring the quilt ‘complete’
in order to write this book was harder
than I expected, I really wanted to continue to further
enhance it indefinitely.

Landscape Quilt
Kerry
Steinberg (330) 676-1834
kerryquilts@gmail.com
Intermediate
A
fun basic class where students are encouraged to “let
loose and try new things”. Bring an “Inspiration
Image”- a photo or picture of a memorable view that you
want to make their own. I
demonstrate a technique using an overhead projector to
enlarge their image to desired size. The
remainder of the class is spent finding the right fabric to
bring the image to life. After the image
is to your liking, we’ll attach the fabrics (with glue) to
the base-often muslin-using raw edge
appliqué. Next, we appliqué the cut pieces onto the base
layer and then layer with batting and
backing and quilt. The other option is to appliqué the
pieces as you quilt.

22. Open Studio
This self-directed class gives you the opportunity to finish some UFOs or start a project you just haven’t had time to begin.
There will not be a teacher assigned to this class so you’ll be on your own to use the scheduled class time to work at your own
pace. Having a problem with a technique or fabric choices? Ask the class to see if someone can offer some advice. Learned a
new trick? Offer to show it to the rest of the class. A great way to enjoy the fellowship of the weekend, while working on your
