Classes update

I’m so excited about the Chuck Nohara classes I’ll be teaching at Material Obsession this year.

There are twice monthly classes scheduled, the Saturday class is full but there are two spots still available in the Friday class which starts 13th Feb. Contact classes@materialobsession.com.au for further information.

The classes are loosely structured to accommodate the students’ needs. We will be working from Chuck Nohara’s book 2001 New Patchwork Patterns. This fabulous book is bulging with inspiration and ideas. Most block patterns are  2.25″ line drawings that leave the sizing and fabric selection up to the maker.

It really is a great quilt to explore your style and colour sense. I’m really looking forward to seeing all the beautiful projects ahead.

Below is my interpretation of Block #74. I’ve used several techniques to make this block, applique, reverse applique and machine piecing. How would you have approached it?

Just keep stitching

Passed a pretty important milestone today. Finished piecing my Red & White Chuck Nohara quilt.
So many hours go into selecting the fabric, prepping the blocks and painstakingly appliquéing or piecing each one.
By the time I get to joining the whole lot together I am truly over it.
Happy to send it off to Michele Turner for her to work her magic.
Familiarity breeds contempt and I’ve spent way too much time staring at this jumble of red & white!
