2022

Take a journey with me from the beginning of my quilting carrier to the present. Learn more about me, 3 Dog Design and how I got my start in quilting. I show many quilts that I have made, including my original designs from by books Stars 'N' Strips Forever, Amish-Inspired Quilts for Today’s Home and New York Beauties and Flying Geese, as well as quilts completed for various magazines and fabric manufactures. See and hear how my quilting aesthetic has changed through the years “making the modern traditional and the traditional modern.”

Want to learn how to make those aptly named New York Beauties created by Carl Hentsch? While they might seem daunting, Carl will break it down for us in a day-long workshop, teaching us step by step how to do it. Along the way you'll learn foundation piecing and curved seams and make up to 3 New York Beauty blocks of your own -- enough to give you a good start on a quilt of your own or make into pillows or... the back of a jacket, maybe? The front of a great tote bag?

Come join in as Carl leads the way, with you using your own choice of fabrics, to a beautiful block or three to start out 2022 with a colorful bang!

The book New York Beauties and Flying Geese will be required for fabric requirements and cutting instructions.

Make Your Own Scout Tee!

Ranell will guide us through the essentials of creating the basic Scout Tee, using Grainline Studio’s pattern, available online or at Roxanne's in a whole range of sizes. She will demonstrate how to fit the pattern to individual measurements, which ensures a good fit - what we all strive for. 

This popular top is patterned for use with regular cotton fabrics, but as we have seen in various examples, you can use knits, guys‘ shirts, old t-shirts and more to remake them as a Scout Tee. It’s all fun and pretty easy, even for those who consider themselves inexperienced.

Intermediates and newbies alike will be introduced to fun variations to the Tee in Part 2, which will be held one week later. Part 2 will also include show and tell of your finished shirts.

Don't miss this opportunity to cut loose from the norm and try something new. 

Required for class:
Grainline Studio Scout Tee pattern (0-18 or 14-30/32)
Fabric to complete the tee plus normal sewing supplies

Available online at Grainline Studio
Available at Roxannes in Carpinteria - (805) 566-1250

Transparency quilts are a favorite design technique, and I talk about what inspires me to design using the technique and how to approach fabric selection when you are working with or wanting to make a transparency quilt. The talk includes tips and tricks on how to use common technology to your benefit when shopping online or in person. Even if you aren't planning to make a transparency quilt, the fabric selection tips & tricks are geared to make you more confident in your next fabric pull!

Have the following on hand to evaluate the tips and techniques Yvonne presents to make sure you get your questions answered:
1. Cell phone / tablet (any mobile device that can take and edit photos)
2. A grouping of fabrics (prints and solids welcome!) in one colorway
3. A light source (the lecture will be in the evening, so let's learn to work with the tools you have on hand)

Learn how to evaluate fabric choices for transparency overlay and about how the visual relationship between different colors, print sizes, and tones can be balanced in your quilts by working through the Wayward Transparency pattern. Wayward Transparency requires 2-3 fabrics in gradation. Traditional piecing techniques will be explored, with additional insights into precision piecing and how to work with directional fabrics.
