CLASS FILLED

Appropriate level: 

Beginning and Advanced, traditional and art quilters

Class description:

When using solids, the emphasis is put on the shape of each piece of fabric, according to Lynn Carson Harris. The lines and shapes become the focus of the quilt rather than the print of a fabric. The mood of the quilt is set by your piecing and color choice, not by a style of print. Working with free-form, improvisational construction, students will create their own original quilts using easy to learn design concepts and techniques.  Check out Lynn’s gallery for inspiration!

Book by Lynn Harris    

Note – Lynn will have her book available for purchase, but it’s not required for the class. There are no pre-cutting requirements.

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.
