From Inspiration to Design – Heather Jones – Sunday, January 20, 2019

Appropriate level: Intermediate to Advanced

Class description: Bring your inspiration to life as you create a one of a kind unique quilt pattern. Work with Heather Jones to create a quilt pattern inspired by something you have seen: an old building, a water tower, the sunset, etc. We’ll use a photograph of your inspiration as a starting point to create a quilt design. Heather will guide you through the process of sketching, designing pattern pieces, calculating yardage and construction methods, creating a color palette and fabric selection. You’ll leave the class with a complete pattern that’s ready to be constructed in your home studio.

Please note there will not be a supply kit provided. The updated workshop supply listing now includes graph paper sketchbook, pencil, and ruler to use in class.

Class description:

Are you short on time with too many fabrics stashed away? Quilting superstar Kimberly Einmo’s signature methods of fast, accurate rotary cutting and speed piecing or appliqué techniques will help you make a serious dent in your stash. She’s one of those rare instructors who never, ever requires any student to purchase her rulers to attend class. Students are free to borrow a ruler for use in class!

All it takes to make the Lone Starburst are 40 – 2½” strips from a purchased pre-cut bundle or strips cut from your own stash, plus one background fabric and the diamond design possibilities are practically endless!

Kimberly will teach you how to strip-piece and cut diamond building blocks from strips using her EZ Jelly Roll Ruler with no “Y” or set-in seams. You’ll design your own unique Lone Starburst variation quilt! The first part of the class focuses on accurate, efficient cutting and piecing of the diamond units and the latter part of the class focuses on design elements and the almost limitless possibilities for designing your own layout using your diamond units.

The real magic comes from the fact that the quilt is assembled with straight-set blocks, not diamond wedges or blocks on point. This is an eye-opening class for anyone who wants to create a one-of-a-kind quilt with a Lone Star twist!

Note: please allow time to complete the pre-work prior to attending class to ensure an enjoyable experience.
