Tucson in the Sun

I an heading south for the sunshine! And am fortunate to be the November presenter for the Tuscon Quilters Guild!   
November 8 & 9 the lectures: "Fun and Fancy Embellishments"
 
November 10, Thursday Workshop: Thursday "Fast Finishes" 

• First we learn to join pre-quilted blocks using several innovative techniques. Go home ready to make larger machine quilted quilts without all the work of trying to get it into your machine. The Quilt-As-You-Go method allows for more detailed quilting using a standard sewing machine since you're only quilting a small section at a time. Fast finishing concludes with super-fast binding. Is binding the quilt your least favorite part?  Bindings and piping are a snap with this no-fail completely machine-stitched method.  In this class you will be making a sample to take home to keep as a ‘how to’ example for your own quilts. Binding will never be the same again!

 

Nov 11, Friday Workshop "The Decorative Thread Experience"

• 
  Thread may have once been considered just a basic necessity of sewing, but happily it’s now available in so many luscious colors and types that it has become sheer pleasure to use. Steering your way through the sea of threads available can be a time consuming and somewhat daunting task. Melody will guide you through the learning process so your sewing will become fun and fancy.
