Intermediate Patchwork and Quilting

I look forward to seeing you in the Intermediate Patchwork and Quilting class!  For the first lesson, we will be working on mock cathedral window and traditional cathedral window. You will have the option of using mock cathedral window in your sampler quilt. The supplies that you will need for the first class are:

• Plain fabric - either anything you have for practice only (fat quarter is fine), or a color to coordinate with the sampler quilt (3/4 metre to complete all of the windows). Solid color fabric or near solid works best.
• Small scraps of fabric - for the inside of the windows
• Sewing supplies - sewing needle, cotton sewing thread, pins, scissors
• Rotary cutting supplies - mat, ruler, rotary cutter
• Sewing machine - you may bring your own, or share a class machine.

There will be additional supplies needed for the rest of the class, and I will talk about these at the first class. If you have questions about these, you can wait until after the first class to purchase them. They include:

Drawing supplies - pencil (with a good point), ruler, compass (preferably with extenders), protractor

Marking supplies - pencils to mark on fabric

12" graph paper - will be available by the sheet from the shop

Foundation paper - greaseproof paper works fine

Template material - plastic OR cardboard and glue stick

Milliners or straw needle

I will discuss the fabric requirements at the first class, but If you wish to start purchasing fabric (or looking through your stash) these are the additional fabric requirements:

• Background: about 2 metres (can be different fabrics but light value is easiest)
• Focus fabric: 1-2 metres – depending on whether you will use for sashing/border
• Fat quarter of 10 or more additional fabrics
• Scraps for appliqué, cathedral windows, etc.
• Sashing - 1 metre

Optional: fat quarter of three fabrics for “arrows” if desired.

Note: These numbers are rough estimates - the amount you need really depends upon where you choose to place the fabrics and how you cut the pieces. So if you have a particular fabric that you want to use and don't have the stated quantity, it will probably be enough.

If you have questions before the class, feel free to call me.
