Workshops with Bonnie Hunter, Winston Salem, NC
Quiltville.com

May 3 & 5, 2013

We welcome Bonnie Hunter from Winston Salem, North Carolina May 3-5, 2013.  We have big excitement in the state and I hope if you are not able to attend a class that you can attend her lecture “Scraps and Shirttails” at the May Members’ meeting. Classes will be for 40 registrants each. Larger spaces have been rented to accommodate the class size.

“Jamestown Landing”

Friday, May 3, 2013, 9am to 4 pm
at Elks Lodge, 108 Odlin Rd., Bangor

Class Fee: PTQG members $50; non-members $65

String Fling book required.

Stars and chains in blues and neutrals are sure to capture any star-lover's fancy! What a great way to clear out scraps by choosing two color families: A foreground (blue) and a background (neutral). Students will learn the basics of string piecing along with learning to use the Easy Angle ruler to create half square triangle units from 2 1/2" scrap strips. This quilt was a great way for me to use a large variety of blue and neutral scraps for the half-square triangles, and even more scrap fun clearing out a whole box of neutral strings used in the alternate block areas.

“Smith Mountain Morning”

Sunday, May 5, 2013, 9 am to 4 pm
at Augusta Civic Center, 76 Community Drive, Augusta

Class Fee: PTQG members $50; non-members $65

Scraps and Shirttails II book required.

Smith Mountain Morning is a two-block quilt, with the star block, a 54-40 or Fight variation, in two color ways, and a Chimney and Cornerstones log cabin variation which is rotated to complete the design between the stars.  Students will learn the use of specialty rulers for half square triangles using the Easy Angle Ruler, Quarter Square Triangles using the Companion Angle Ruler, and the Tri Recs rulers for the tall star points!
