    Patti Struck
    will teach us how to make three types of Dresden Plate blocks with numerous variations including a Grandmother’s Fan block. The class is designed for beginners interested in learning to make a Dresden Plate block or for an experienced quilter who would like to experiment with Dresden Plate blocks. Patti will be showing samples she has created for this class at the various meetings. Check them out and get inspired.

    Supply List:
      12 fabric strips cut 5 inches wide by WOF, ironed and starched. This will allow you to make a 12-inch block. Small prints, tone on tone prints, or solids are recommended. Coordinate your fabrics or go for a scrappy look. Take time to study the photos above and make a note of what fabrics you might select from your stash. If you plan to make larger blocks, you will need 8-inch strips by width of fabric.
      five 6-inch squares for center circles. If you plan on making a larger Dresden Plate, you will need a larger square
      1 yard of background fabric. If you plan to make a larger Dresden Plate, you will need more material.
    •  1 yard of lightweight fusible interfacing
    Dresden ruler/template. If you don’t wish to purchase one, let Patti know and she will make you a cardboard template.
      6-inch by 12-inch ruler or larger
      rotary cutter and small/medium cutting mat
      iron—a small one to use at your table would work great.
        There will be PQG irons for group use.
      fabric and paper scissors
      straight pins and hand needle for attaching center circles
      sewing machine with neutral thread
      liquid glue, such as Elmer’s glue

      Carol Marszalek will teach this beginner's introduction on how to make an easy Mariner's Compass block. There are many ways to make compass blocks: hand drafted, plastic template, ruler templates, foundation paper piecing, or freezer paper.
            The technique we will be learning will be folded paper piecing, which allows you to reuse your pattern multiple times, saving time and money. We will not get into color theory, drafting, or y-seams in this class.

             At the end of the class, hopefully you will have a complete block finished. It can become a mini, you can make a couple more to do a table runner, or perhaps the start of a full size quilt.

      Supply List
      You will need to bring six different fabrics to make the points: 3 light and 3 dark to make 3 contrasting pairs (see photo above).  Fat quarters should be ample. Pattern and written instructions will be provided. Bring a small cutting mat, a rotary cutter, and a 6 or 12 inch ruler to speed up your progress. Obviously, bring your sewing machine, extension cord, and accessories needed for accurate piecing. A small thin ruler to speed up your folds (we will provide lightweight cardboard strips). 
              There will be several irons and ironing boards to share, as well as several small cutting mats to share. You're welcome to bring a small iron and ironing mat to use at your table.

        Don’t miss this “Project Bag” SOS. Make a bag to store the projects you are working on in convenient, pretty bags with a clear vinyl front. PQG member Allison Owens will show us how to make the bag using an easy zipper technique.  [18-inch bag shown on right.]
              A second item will also be available to make——perhaps something from the Round Robins in our March meetings! Plus Allison will be happy to review or answer questions about the bags from October's SOS.
              Be sure to  sign up soon -- space is limited to 20 so that everyone has ample sewing space. You know there's at least one bag that you want——or get a head start on your donations to the quilt show Boutique. Plus, if you donate one item to the Boutique, you will receive a voucher for another SOS.
        Supply List

        1. Fabric for back and inside front about 20-inch pieces for: back (maybe use orphan blocks!), for inside (a light color fabric works best) and for batting.  These will be quilted together and finished to 19 x 19-inch square.  Note you can also use double sided quilted fabric instead.
        2. For front top (and bottom) edge:  two 4 x 19-inch coordinating pieces
        3. One 18-inch coordinating zipper.
        4. Binding to go around entire bag.

          This is an encore Appliqué class, taught by PQG member Susan Lawler. Susan will bring a different appliqué project to this SOS. And we'll see more examples of her exquisite appliqué work. Susan will share tips and secrets for achieving excellence in a variety of appliqué techniques!
          FYI: the photo is the appliqué project Susan designed for the SOS that Susan led in August '23.
                 Bring your favorite hand-sewing tools (scissors, pins/clips, needles). No need for sewing machines -- this will be all handwork.
               Susan will provide a kit that includes nearly everything needed to complete your project. So, please bring $5 cash that Judy Walker will collect and give directly to Susan by day's end. Last year's kit produced the wonderful sunflowers shown on the right!
                Feel free to bring examples of your own appliqué work, especially if it includes the flower arrangement you started in Susan's first SOS in 2023. Did you complete the little bird we started at our meetings in January 2023? Or perhaps one of the Hawaiian blocks in the 2023 BOM challenge? Feel free to bring you own appliqué to show off!
