You will have the chance to spend one day with Valerie Nesbitt working with feature fabrics and one day working with Jennie Rayment with very clever patchwork shapes
How do I calculate the length of my strips? Answer: The 40 minute quilt is made up from scrap strips, each cut 2.5" wide by whatever length your material is. Valerie joined lots together to get her quilt top. In order to work out how long you want you need to think about the size you want to create and will there be borders? - if not then the calculation goes like this: For each strip sewn it will become 2" wide and if you want it to be 40" in the other direction then just divide the size - say 60" by 2 = 30 strips at 40 This can also be made with a ready-bought jelly roll - just look at the number of strips in it.
Jennie is a world renown quilt teacher, lecturer, author of nine quilt books and numerous patterns.
The weekend of 13-14 October these three joined forces to teach at the Justhands-on.tv retreat at Denham Grove. 30 ladies spent two days sewing - jelly rolls with Sarah; Layer cake quilts with Pauline and Valerie's class worked on projects of their own choosing; They all had so much fun that a repeat event has been planned for 2019! There is a choice of sewing one of these two wonderful jelly roll quilts with Sarah - skill level challenging or one of these two with Pauline - skill level beginner - again from jelly rolls.
This delightful range of fabrics comes in pink (and blue) and is printed in soft tones of reds, pinks and creams with pretty floral designs, perfect for quilts and handmade projects for the home. Another super collection from Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts - and the accompanying pattern called Dear One - is available as a free download from the Makower project page.
