  Improv Piecing Using Scraps
  Based on the quilts of Gwen Marston and Freddie Moran, Judy Walker will walk us through making improv medallion and log cabin quilts from scraps and leftovers -- and the wonderful choices that can be found on our own "free table" each month!
           Make a small quilt in one day -- something for the next Mini Quit Challenge, perhaps. Or get started on a small quilt for the PQG Holiday exchange.
  Plus, this SOS might generate ideas for your scrappy theme quilt for the 2027 Quilt Show!
        There will be lots of treasures saved from recent "free table" surplus and plenty of Christmas pieces. Plus Judy will have some scrappy "kits" that she's been saving for just an occasion like this!
  SUPPLIES:
  • small collection from your stash of leftovers, scraps
  • a favorite small piece that you've been saving for
     something special -- suitable for centerpiece
  • leftover strips, extra blocks
  • 12" ruler or 6" ruler
  • Sewing machine, thread, standard supplies
  PQG will provide irons and ironing boards, cutting mats.
  We will also have paper for drawing patterns and 2-sided fusible.
         FYI: The blue quilt is 4 found blocks and a small piece that had cute ducks--it was just sold in the MMQ Auction. The pink quilt started with someone's trimmings from the back of a very big quilt. All it took was unpicking the batting and small pieces from the quilt top.

  FABRIC YARDAGE CHART - Click to view or print the list of fabric yardages and pre-cutting requirements

  
  

  This is one of Linda’s most requested workshops!

  • Whole day workshop.
  • Confident beginner and beyond.

  
  

  Students will learn Linda’s unique technique for creating perfect New York Beauty blocks using just ONE pin on the first attempt. Throughout the class, Linda demonstrates how to make an optional miniature using the scraps and cutaways of the main project.

  
  

  REQUIRED KIT: $30.00

  Kit includes full color handout to complete the quilt, foundation paper that stays in the quilt, custom acrylic templates and a re-useable foundation piecing stencil. Once you have the kit, you can make any of Linda’s New York Beauty designs—you’ll just need additional foundation paper.

  
  

  Beauty on the Beach supply list

  • SEWING MACHINE: If you are bringing your own machine, please have an extension cord, new needle, wind bobbin in a neutral color thread and bring a neutral color top thread. Please have a 1/4” foot on the machine that does NOT have a seam guide or flange on the foot.
  • Rotary cutter (sharp blade) and small mat
  • Square ruler ( I use 9-1/2” by Omnigrid or Creative Grids)
  • Scissors, a few straight pins, baggie for scraps
  • Pigma brush tip pen (I will have some in class $3)
  • Fabrics pre-cut and bagged by size (I do recommend starching before cutting, but its a personal choice)
  • • Note: We will not get to the borders in class, so it is not necessary to cut or bring them with you.
    • The sample quilt was made using fabrics from my newest collection from Banyan Batiks— Island Vibes II. I have included the SKU and collection information for the fabrics I used. You are most welcome to choose your own fabrics.

  • a favorite small piece that you've been saving for
     something special -- suitable for centerpiece

  Free Sewing Day + Sewing for Community Quilts
  Let's Focus on Pillow Cases, Drawstring Bags and Pin Basting
  • Public Library, 239 N. Spring St. at Gregory
  SOS offers a FREE day of FREE sewing and visiting with friends. Bring you own projects to work on.
            And please plan spending some time helping Community Quilts by cutting pillow case kits and drawstring bag kits. Plus, we will have raised tables for pin-basting some quilts for Community Quilts——and yourself if you have a quilt top ready! Feel free to bring a medium-to-large quilt top that's ready to turn into a "quilt sandwich" for free-motion quilting or hand quilting!
        The library is the perfect location! Ample tables in a large space, perfect spot for hand- or machine-sewing! Plus room to raise the tables for easy cutting and pin basting as a group. We’ll pin-baste the first quilt as a group and work on more as time allows––depending on how many show up to help. Sign up online or at monthly meetings.
  SUPPLIES: If you plan to bring your own quilt for pin basting: be sure to bring about 300 small quilting pins (a slight curve on one side makes quilt-pinning easier). Experienced "pinners" seem to prefer Dritz brand 1-1/8 inch. (You need to supply your own pins because you'll be taking them home with you. ) Plus you might want to bring on old teaspoon or a Kwik Klip for closing and opening the pins. And don't forget your quilt batting and the quilt backing. Both should be at least 8 inches larger than your quilt top in both directions, basically 4 inches per side. Please bring your sewing machine, power cord, standard sewing supplies, favorite rulers and cutters. We'll have cutting boards & rotary cutters, irons, and ironing boards.
  •••••Did you know that WFPL now has a Makerspace at the downtown branch? They feature long arm machine quilting and table quilting. And it's FREE! Take of tour of the space while you there for this SOS. To learn more or to book a session, just send email to sewing@mywfpl.com. If you don't already have a library card, this would certainly be a great reason to get one!

  Let's All Help Community Quilts
  What a great way to get some practice with your machine-quilting skills—now that we're getting monthly quilting lessons from Cena Harmon. The quilt sandwiches will be ready to go, each of us will aim to finish one quilt that day! And then perhaps take another to finish at home.
        We will also offer a refresher on adding the binding by machine for anyone interested. The binding is all machine done because the quilts will be well loved and well used . . . and should be ready for machine washing! Learn to master your own walking foot.
          And to round out the day, we will have lots of pillowcases ready to sew and instructions for making drawstring bags.

  SUPPLIES:
  • your "must have" rulers, cutter, etc.
  • sewing machine, power cord, thread, standard supplies
  PQG will provide irons and ironing boards, cutting mats, rulers, a couple of cutters.
