When?	Date(s) - 6^th May 2012 Time (24h Format) - 10:00 - 16:00 Time (12h Format) - 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
What?	Requirements List We will be making at least 6 blocks in a representative number of techniques. You may choose to make a mini wall hanging in order to learn the techniques, make more of the associated blocks for a larger project, or start the Journey to make the whole quilt! FABRIC: Decide on your COLOUR theme – it doesn’t have to be a reproduction quilt; e.g. Amish or blue-and-white versions would look beautiful. Decide on your BACKGROUND. Jane used calico throughout. The tutor used a different background in each. Again, it is your choice, but if you want the same fabric throughout the entire quilt allow 5 metres. If only making a few blocks, bring sizeable scraps (fat 1/8^th or larger). You will need some 6” squares. For your other fabrics, again bring a selection of pieces as in 2, including 6” squares. OTHER NEEDS: – Cotton threads to match colours and background – Hand sewing needles – tutor uses appliqué 11s – Rotary cutting equipment; 6” square and 6” x 12” rules are most useful – Freezer paper if you have it (tutor will bring some) – Paper and fabric scissors (small, sharp points) – Pins and a fine point pencil – Sewing machine – OPTIONAL. This is not necessary and the technique is probably better without. If you do not intend to bring a sewing machine you might like to do the following preparation, or some of it. It will enable you to get more blocks completed on the day! 1) Using 2 contrasting fabrics (background plus another) cut 8 squares, 3” size, 4 from each fabric. Using ¼” seams PRESSED OPEN make 2 Four Patch blocks. 2) Cut 2 squares,( 1 from background and 1 from a contrast) 6” size. Cut each on the diagonal TWICE. Rearrange the resulting 8 triangles and stitch 2 blocks, as before. 3) From each of 2 fabrics cut 3 strips, 3” x 10” Stitch 3 strips together in combination Dark – Light- Dark Stitch 3 strips together in combination Light- Dark- Light – “Dear Jane” book by Brenda Papadakis, if you have it – Sense of humour, your lunch and a mug
