2020 Saturday Sampler, Tula Pink’s “Butterfly Quilt”
3rd Saturday of the Month, February through November, 10 am Each month construction of blocks will be reviewed along with completion of various sections of this quilt. The quilt pattern is a lot of fun, very colorful & relatively easy. Build the quilt from your stash in any colorway! The quilt pattern is made up in 3 parts: the blocks, the sections, and then putting it all together. Each month Polly will demo the construction of the blocks and later putting the sections together. The Shop Sample was started with scraps of batiks, then added some cotton and just kept going. There are several photos of this quilt on Tula Pink’s website, done in a variety of colors, not just pink. Purchase of the Pattern is required, $30 No Class Fee! 6 Participants are required to make this class a “go” ******************* BLACK DIAMOND 90” x 90” Enjoy the beauty of a neutral palette in ivory, cream, gray and black in this beautiful quilt top from Kaye England’s Blackwood Cottage collection for Wilmington Prints.

FEBRUARY TUCKER UNIVERSITY CLASS CORNER POP Saturday February 1 or Wednesday February 5 The next Tucker University class will be Saturday February 1 or Wednesday February 5. In this session we will be demonstrating the Corner Pop ruler and the various design options this ruler gives you. This is a common modification to several basic quilting blocks which adds a little “pop” to these blocks. This look has commonly been created using the “folded corner” technique. With that method the result was either too big, too small, crooked, and way too wasteful. Correct use of this ruler gives you a perfect corner pop, expertly cutting the base unit and the corner piece. Purchase of the ruler (if you already have this ruler that’s great!) and a design sheet is required. SIGN UP DEADLINE IS FRIDAY JANUARY 24th. Please let us know if you will be attending this class so that we can have the necessary supplies available for you! And for those of you have regularly attended this series of classes you will receive an email; please respond to that on whether you will be joining us for this class too. Also please let us know if you already have the ruler. ****************** COUNTY STAR BARN Saturday February 22, 10 am to 3 pm The County Star Barn Quilt by Violet Craft is a foundation paper pieced pattern made with a set of templates (foundation papers) that are repeated in different colors to make the unique starry layout.
