VALERIE MASER-FLANAGAN – Designing Without Rulers
Thursday, 18 September 2025
9 am to 3:30 pm
Live, in-person at the Millwood Fire House
$ 55 member ($80 nonmember)
The focus of this one-day workshop is to free up from using rulers and measurements. Participants will use a rotary cutter to cut simple lines and shapes to create a small composition or more than one. Participants may choose to make a number of small blocks instead of a composition.
VALERIE MASER-FLANAGAN Supply List
- Solid black and white fabric: 1 yard of each. We will use the black and white fabric to create our initial design(s).
- It is your choice if you want to stick with black and white fabric or if you want to bring colored fabric. Select colors that you would like to work with but make sure you have at least one dark and one light fabric. You can limit your choice to two fabrics or bring as many as you want. I would recommend solid fabric.
- I yard of flannel or batting to tape on the wall as a design board.
- Blue painters tape (not masking tape) to tape the design wall fabric to the wall.
- Rotary cutter: bring the largest size you have. This is a good time to put in a fresh new blade if you haven’t changed your blade in a while.
- Cutting mat: I recommend a 24 x 36 inch size if you have one. But bring what you have.
- Cell phone or IPAD to take pictures of your work in progress.
- Pen, pencil, paper for notes, sketches
- Sewing machine, thread, scissors and whatever else you usually need for basic sewing.
- Pins for piecing and to use on the design wall.
- Optional: larger ruler for squaring up the design.
