Japanese patchwork is delightfully quirky and addictive, the patchwork blocks in Chuck Nohara’s 2001 New Patchwork Patterns are no exception. Once a month, Lorena will guide you as you create your own masterpiece sampler quilt. Classes are guided by the needs of the students and loosely structured to cover block and layout design, different methods of construction including machine and hand piecing options, applique techniques and English paper piecing. With 2001 block options ranging from the idiosyncratic to the traditional there are enough blocks for a lifetime of quilts! (All students are required to own a copy of the book, available from MO).

Friday Showcase at The Quilters' Guild of NSW
2015-08-07 10:00 - 11:30
Friday Showcase
Friday showcase is an informal but informative meeting is held in the Guild office (Level 5, 276 Pitt Street Sydney) on the first Friday of most months. A Guild member is invited to speak about his or her quilting experiences and show their quilts. Many of the quilts that are displayed at the showcase are then hung in the office for a month.
Guild and non-Guild members are welcome to Friday Showcase. There is a small charge of $5.00 for members and $10 for non-members. This covers the presenter’s out-of-pocket expenses, (as most presenters have to catch a cab into the city laden with all their quilts!) and morning tea.
If you cannot attend the showcase, come to the office and see a wonderful display of quilts.
The presentation of quilts is from 10.00am– 11.30am. Afterwards you are more than welcome to enjoy the library or sit and sew with your friends.

A selection of 100% cotton quilting fabric. Purchase the best quality fabric you can afford, they will make your project much more enjoyable. You can find quilting cottons at specialty patchwork and quilting stores or at bigger chain stores.

fabric scissors
paper scissors
pencils and pens
you may wish to invest in: rotary cutter, self healing cutting mat and an acrylic ruler.

Quilts last many years, work with fabric that makes you happy or suits your décor. If you are not sure what to buy leave it till after your first class as I always have spare fabric to work from.
To begin with you will need a minimum of 4 different fabrics: chose a medium sized print that you like, select two plain colours or prints that coordinate with it and a smaller complementary print.
