I used 74 linear yards to make 70″x 76″ quilt top. Maybe start with 25 linear yards of fabric.\nI noticed that fabric with a bigger design shows better in this quilt. Also include some solid fabric.\nI tried to cut my strips with the grain of fabric not across from selvage to selvage to prevent fabric from stretching while sewing strips together.\nMeg Mooar - Kawandi Style Quilt\n \n\nKawandi are an ancestral craft practiced by the African diaspora in western India.  They are made from recycled saris and constructed from the outside in.  In this workshop we will be practicing a western style of sewing a Kawandi – a respectful interpretation of this traditional technique. \nSupply List:\nThis is a hand stitching project.\nGather scraps and colorful threads to reproduce your own\, unique interpretation of a Kawandi. \nJoAnne Hochstein - Wool Applique\n \n– \nThis will be our 3rd year exploring the many ways to work with Wool. Any appliqué pattern can be translated in to Wool Appliqué and even combined with traditional cotton piecing. \nIf you have a pattern in mind bring it and I’ll help you get started otherwise I will have samples for you to work on.\nPlease bring your hand sewing kit with a thimble (if that’s how you work) and both paper and fabric scissors.Jane Eyes - Improv 101\n \n\nPlaying Around with Orphan Blocks  \nDo you have a collection of orphan blocks and other bits from a workshop or an abandoned project? Are you ready to slice them up and dive into the art of improvisational piecing?  We will be using those abandoned bits to explore various improv techniques including ruler free cutting\, and create a small piece\, a table runner\, wall quilt\, or panels for a tote bag. \nSupply List \n\n2 or 3 Orphan blocks that have a pleasing color theme and other “bits” that compliment that palette\n4-5 Fat quarters of fabrics that fit into your chosen palette. Be sure to bring a range of values – light to dark\nDesign wall – a square yard of flannel and blue painter’s tape\nSewing machine with ¼ inch foot\nNeutral thread – medium grey or khaki\nRotary cutter with a new blade\, cutting mat\, and one ruler\n\n*FILLED* Patricia Loquet - Potato Chip Quilt\n \nA note about the photo-I chose to use as the starting point a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2” square instead of two potato chips. \n\nCome for the Ranger Cookies but stay for Potato Chips! \nA potato chip in Quilters language means a 2 1/2”x 4 1/2” rectangle. Beginner and scrap friendly these quilts go together easily. And there are many variations for putting the blocks together. Most but not all variations use equal numbers of dark and light chips. As said this is a very scrap friendly quilt but you can always make it a “controlled” scrappy by your choice of fabrics and placement. \nSUPPLY LIST: \nA 12” block uses 15 “potato chips”; an 8” block uses 8 “potato chips\, your choice. Bring enough chips for however big you want your quilt.  Half should be light and the other half dark or dark medium.  I encourage you to make up baggies of 10 light/10 dark to trade with others to really make it scrappy. \n\nBasics – Sewing machine\, thread\, needles\, scissors\, pins\nCutting board and rotary cutter and ruler (if you haven’t cut all your pieces)\nPersonal iron & mat  (I will also bring an iron and ironing board\n\n*FILLED* Karen Eckmeier - Accidental Landscape™: Mountain Views \n \n©2009-2026 Karen Eckmeier        karen@quilted-lizard.com    www.kareneckmeier.com \nFabric\n\nSky: ¼ yard “dramatic” fabric with clouds\, or sun\, or a handpainted fabric. The sky fabric sets the mood for you entire scene\, so be sure you love it!\nRolling Hills: ¼ yard 5-7 greens gradated from light to dark (look for small scale prints – not necessarily “landscape” fabrics. For example: irregular stripes\, random dots\, mottled\, etc. Distant Mountains: scraps or 1/8 yard each of white\, gray\, medium purple\, or gray blue\nWildflowers (optional): ¼ yard small scale floral that looks like growing flowers\nLake/River: blues OR use a section of the sky fabric (the reflection of the sky is usually visible in the water)\nOuter Border: ¼ yard your choice – dark neutrals\, such as black\, brown and gray work nicely as borders that act as picture frames or a window frame to surround the scene.\n\n\nHere’s another surprisingly simple quilted scene using Karen’s layered topstitching technique. Gentle rolling hills of green fabric strips combine with distant peaks to create peaceful vistas. Include a lake or a field of wildflowers. The variations are endless! You will also learn how to embellish the landscape with beads\, yarn and Angelina fibers to give it sparkle.\nFinished size: approx. 9” x 12” without borders (size varies)\nTo view color photos of this workshop go to pages 8-13 and 50-51 in the Accidental Landscapes book. \nSupplies\n\nSewing Machine (Featherweights are fine)\nRotary cutter\, ruler\, and mat\nIron and ironing pad (mini iron will work)\nThreads for topstitching – select threads to match fabrics or use variegated threads\nNeutral thread for bobbin\nFabric scissors\nPins (I recommend the long flower head pins)\nFabric glue (for adding optional details)\nRuler for rotary cutting borders\nQuilter’s Square for squaring piece (only if you already own one)\nBook: Accidental Landscapes by Karen Eckmeier $21.95 (highly recommended but not required)\n\nMost students get to the quilting stage in both the 3 hour and 6 hour workshops\,  this is what you will need:  \n\nThreads for quilting (machine or hand)\nNeedles for machine quilting or hand quilting\n100% cotton batting (approx. 18” x 22”) + half yard fabric for backing\n“Walking Foot” and/or Darning Foot for Machine quilting\nPins for Basting (for tiny quilts like these\, pins are great)
