Chuck Nohara Masterclass 26-27 August.

This weekend will be inspiring and hopefully motivate any of you who are stuck on your progress.

There will be a number of completed quilts for Show and Tell from myself and past students.

The format is loosely structured around 6 key lessons with lots of input from you!

So if you have any particular blocks you are stuck on or want to try, let me know 🙂

  1. Design and Execution: resizing blocks, colour and fabric choices, useful techniques
  2. Machine vs Hand Piecing: balancing precision, speed and ease.
  3. Applique: circles, reverse applique, bias stems
  4. English Paper Piecing: straight and curved blocks
  5. Combining techniques within one block
  6. Layout, Sashing and Border designs

The cost for the two day workshop includes Lunch, Morning and Afternoon Tea.

I will have a multi function printer available to print on demand, irons, boards, large cutting matts and cords.

Multiple design walls will be set up so you can display your work so far.

We have the entire venue to ourselves so there is plenty of room to spread out.

There’s also lots of parking right by the entrance.

Please contact me if you are interested in this workshop

Technique Toolbox : 3rd Saturday Class at MO

by Leave a Comment

There are many ways to construct the same quilt.

We all have our preferences and finding your favourite is a matter of trial and error. This class is for beginners through to experienced quilt makers who want to learn great techniques for quilt making.

From all the different forms of appliqué, foundation piecing and machine constructed blocks to putting your final design together into an  interesting and eye catching composition.

Modern, Contemporary and Traditional quilts all rely on great technique from block construction to sashing, borders and binding. Lorena will guide you in finding your favourite way to achieve your goal.

Start a new quilt, work on one of Lorena’s patterns or bring your own project that needs a little help to get it done!
