Pansy Table Runner

Do you need a little colour in your life during the upcoming winter months? Then why not stitch this table runner to brighten things up. Some of the techniques in this class include pre-quilting the background, preparing motifs on a separate fabric before applying to the background, needle turn appliqué, making bias stems using Celtic bars, cut away stems, methods of transferring your design to various backgrounds, basting methods, stitching curves, points and “V”s, and the almost invisible hand appliqué stitch.

Match Game – I Spy

We make this project using pairs of squares. They can be fun kid prints, bright colours, and cool patterns. This quilt is two games in one. Kids can play I Spy or “Find the matching blocks”. You need 60 pairs of 5 inch squares. We trade in class so it is very easy to make up the 60 pairs.  Each 5 inch strip yields 8 squares so you will have plenty to trade. This pattern can become a real addiction. I’m on my third one already.
