August 8th - 5-8 PM

This workshop is for intermediate- advanced sewers only.

In this class, students will learn the technique of foundation piecing. The miniature Log Cabin blocks will finish at 3” with strips of 1⁄4”. Don’t be intimidated by the small scale; Students always report that it was much easier than they thought it would be. The class also includes information about printers/papers/other specialty materials, and Electric Quilt software. There is also discussion about quilting/finishing techniques that work well with this size of blocks. Class length is approximately 3 hours.

Students must bring the following supplies:

• Sewing machine

• Basic sewing supplies

• Schmetz Microtex needles work well, but any small needle (size 11 or 10 )

• Lightweight cotton thread that blends with your fabrics (50 weight

• or finer)

• 8-10 WOF strips, 1” wide, sorted into lights and darks. Small scale prints, tone on tones, and solids work especially well

• Think about using a contrasting fabric for the very center of your squares. Bright colors work well here, and only a small amount is needed.

• Open-toe foot

• Rotary cutter/ruler

• Optional: mini iron and pressing mat

NOTE: Foundations will be supplied. The product prefered is Foundation Stuff by George Siciliano, plenty of sample patterns will be provided.
