THE JOY OF SETS

1 to 4 day workshop

 

Sharyn’s favorite part of the entire quilt making process is when she finally has enough blocks that she gets to go to the flannel wall and design a quilt. Let her enthusiasm and encouragement help you to find the perfect setting for your blocks. No problem is too big or too small. Bring your blocks and come be prepared to have fun.

 

This workshop is available in a 1, 2, 3, or 4 day format. In the one day workshop there will be no sewing, but lots of thought provoking, inspiration, and problem solving. In the multi-day workshops you’ll actually get to sew. This workshop replaces two earlier workshops Setting Solutions and Great Sets. It combines the best parts of each into this one great class.

 

EXPERIENCE LEVEL: Intermediate to Advanced

FOCUS: Problem solving, encouragement, ideas, and answers

 



GLORIFIED NINE PATCH
6-hour workshop
This delightful old pattern, also known as The Improved Nine Patch, is a great way to be introduced to curved seam construction. The original pattern was created by an all-over construction technique similar to the Double Wedding Ring. I've altered the construction a bit, so that we will be making individual blocks. The block structure not only opens up the design and setting opportunities, but is much easier. See The Art of Classic Quiltmaking, p.193, for another example. ($7.50 supply fee for templates)

EXPERIENCE LEVEL: Beginner II and beyond
FOCUS: Skill building and FUN
THE ROYAL CROSS
6-hour workshop
This is a graceful, old, traditional pieced pattern featuring gentle curved seaming. This is an excellent pattern to allow color play, practice curve seaming, and explore various Setting options. See The Art of Classic Quiltmaking page 188 for another example. ($10.00 supply fee for templates)

BACKGAMMON FOR QUILTERS
6-hour workshop
Are you looking for a fun, fast, easy new quilt to make? Then this workshop is for you. Inspired by the common Rail Fence pattern-on-a-skew the resulting blocks look very much like the backgammon game board. You don't need to be a game player to enjoy this quilt. You can build it in two colors as shown here, or any number that suits your fancy.
