Appropriate level: Intermediate
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.

Lecture by Kimberly Einmo:
“Jelly Rolls + Precuts = A Recipe for Design Success!”
This lecture follows the business meeting on Quilt Day.
You’ve heard about them. You’ve seen them. Most likely you’ve even bought them. But what can you actually do with them? Well, let Kimberly introduce you to the delectable world of calorie-free fabric delights! These pre-cut bundles are pint-sized powerhouses of scrappy design opportunities just waiting for you to create fabulous quilts and more!
Kimberly will share tons of photos, quilts, and more inspiration than you can imagine to tantalize your “inner design chef” and excite you to create something glorious using these amazing fabric bundles. From basic beauties to the most exquisite award-winning quilts, Kimberly’s PowerPoint presentation is jam-packed with ideas and inspiration. Even if you don’t plan to use these pre-packaged fabric lines, you’ll find plenty of creative ways for stash busting from your own fabrics, and ways to use up those pesky leftover strips and squares. You’ll be scrap happy and itchin’ to stitch by the end of her presentation!

Class description: Thanks to Kimberly Einmo‘s clever design and signature technique for making no-fail flying geese units, this gorgeous quilt is comprised of straight set blocks that give the illusion of diagonally set rows. Only you’ll know how easy it actually is to construct!
Flying Geese Crossing is the perfect way to feature one of those luscious pre-cut strip bundles and background fabrics or favorite fabrics from your stash. The best part about Kimberly’s signature construction method using her EZ Flying Geese Ruler is that there is no math, no wasted fabric, and no stress to make flying geese! Spend the day creating a glorious quilt that is easily customizable to fit a wall or any size bed. You’ll finish the class as a pro at making flying geese from simple strips, plus you’ll have a great time spending the day learning so many tips and tricks from Kimberly!
Note: please allow time to complete the pre-work prior to attending class to ensure an enjoyable experience.
