121st Members Meeting
2018-04-28 10:00 | Thomas College; Summit Room, 180 West River Rd., Waterville, ME, 04901, United States
Pine Tree Quilters’ Guild Members’ Meeting,
at Thomas College, Waterville, April 28, at 10:00 a.m.
Pine Tree Quilters’ Guild Members’ Meeting,
(April 28) invites Robin Long for a lecture.
Also Workshops, April 27 & 29, at locations listed on Registration form.
Did you make a New Year’s resolution to learn a new technique in 2018? Do you love the Mariner’s Compass block, but just think that it looks too hard? Do you want a break from paper piecing? Perhaps you just want to make an “Oh, WOW!!!” quilt for someone or something special? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then opportunity awaits!
Robin Long wanted to make a Mariner’s Compass quilt for her husband, an officer on Navy submarines. We all know how tricky that can be! She developed her own technique for designing and making the Mariner’s Compass block back in 1992. She created a new line of rulers, books, and patterns that allow the quilter to strip-piece the mariner’s compass block in sixteen sizes without paper-piecing. With the encouragement or friends and family, she launched Robin Ruth Designs in January 2015.

Registration for Robin Long Workshops

Since the beginning of her company, Robin has added new patterns and new ideas for using her tools. She’s appeared at numerous quilt chapters and shops and taught at Road to California for the first time this year. Please check out her website at robinruthdesign.com to see photos of her quilts and be inspired.
Robin is coming to Maine this April. She will lead workshops on Friday, April 27th in Windham and on Sunday, April 29th in Bangor. She’ll be speaking to the Members’ Meeting in Waterville on Saturday, April 28th.
The workshops are technique classes, where Robin will teach the basics of using her rulers and patterns. You have a choice between her Skinny Robin (45 degree compass) and Fat Robin (60 degree compass) blocks each day as she teaches them side by side. If you are already familiar with Robin’s techniques, she is more than happy to offer suggestions for a project that’s another step or two up from the basics class. She will also show us how to incorporate the mariner’s compass block in to innumerable projects.
On Satudary, Robin will talk about her journey from a thought to a design to a company and learn what she’s working on next. You’ll get to some of her beautiful quilts up close and personal and learn what an octacompass is. It’s pretty amazing!
The registration form is on the back page of this issue of the Patchwork Press. Please join us and learn something new and fantastic!
