LEXINGTON, KY AND AQS KNOXVILLE SHOW

Come to Knoxville for the AQS show July 13-16.  There is room in my classes and lectures for you to join me in learning new techniques and meeting new friends.   Here are the class:
Lecture/Brunch Sat. July 16, "Three Mennonite Sisters Quilting Journey"  Three of the seven Heatwole sisters share how quilting has been and continues to be a special part of their lives.  This power point presentation of stunning quilts reflects their Mennonite heritage, and show many quilts and designs they have made.  See a trunk show of their work.  Hear their story and see the contemporary and traditional quilts.




Class: "Pinwheel Spin". 
We will learn how to create triangle blocks with polygons.  If you have never learned to sew a “Y” seam. Now is the chance to learn.  We will sew the triangle blocks into rows and the rows into a wall quilt.  In the end you will have interlocking pinwheels.  This will challenge you in the world of quilting.


Class:  "Shenandoah Star"The goal of this class will be for each student to create a beautiful strip pieced star.  It is quick easy and fun.  No inset seams.  The techniques learned in this class are strip piecing, cutting triangles and diamonds and creating a zippy pinwheel in the center of the star.


Polly made a complete quilt from the "Shenandoah Star" pattern.


 

Class:  "Star Tricks II"  Bring your colored pencils and a creative mind.  Starting with a lone star layout we will create design within the diamond blocks. Learn key points in creating your own diamond blocks that are placed in a lone star layout.  We will discuss why designs will or will not work.  And how to give them some zip.

Lecture:  "Creating Designs in a Lone Star" Bring your colored pencils and a creative mind.  Starting with a lone star layout we will create design within the diamond blocks. Learn key points in creating your own diamond blocks that are placed in a lone star layout.  We will discuss why designs will or will not work.  And how to give them some zip.



For the "All Star Review".  I will be demonstrating  a strip method of how to make a diamond chain.



Check out the AQS Knoxville, Quilt Show .  Hope to see you there.

  7. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
    or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd definitely
    appreciate it.

  8. Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed
    to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
