Chain of Events
Class
Pattern Required
Rulers Recommended (provided for class and available for purchase)
The pattern for this class uses two new techniques to create
"54-40 or Fight" and "Goose Chase" blocks to make a gorgeous
wall hanging, throw or queen size quilt. Your quilt can be made
in two colors, or scrappy with five or more coordinating darks and
one neutral light. The results are stunning! Flying Geese x 4™
and Lazy Angle™ rulers, which will be available for purchase in
the class, are a definite plus but not required.
Geese In The Fields
Class
Pattern Required
Flying Geese x 4™ Ruler Recommended (but not required)
Learn the techniques from the Flying Geese x 4™ ruler to piece a
gaggle of flying geese in no time! A baker's dozen of fat quarters
are used for big blocks, alternating with trios of geese, to cook up
this great quilt. We will also try out other geese possibilities that
use the amazing Flying Geese X4™ ruler.
Moroccan Tiles
Class
Pattern Required
Flying Geese x 4™ Ruler Recommended (but not required)
Quarter Square Goose - what's a Quarter Square Goose? Make this
simple table runner using the Flying Geese x 4™ no math ruler. You
will discover a secondary design (quarter square geese) every time
you make these geese. You will make size changes with ease - all
with no math. The pattern also includes instructions for placemats.
The Runaround Bag & The Wonder Wallet
Class
Two Patterns Required
The Runaround Bag uses two fat quarters and an easy zipper technique
(yes - easy and zipper in the same sentence!) that make this bag quick
as a wink. The Wonder Wallet has plenty of pockets to carry your cards
and cash and coins. Great when you don't want to tote a full-size purse.
A Caravan of New Ideas

The Quilting Gypsy - rolling into your world to teach you easy methods
for circular bargello and framing circles, and introduces a plethora of

from bags and wearables to wall art and quilts. This lecture reviews

ducible handouts, learn to calculate sash and border yardages the
easy way. This knowledge will allow you to finish your quilt in a
"uniquely you" way. No longer will you have orphaned or inherited
blocks waiting to be adopted by a quilt, nor will you hesitate to
try new and unusual blocks, all because you attended this lecture.
