Fun With Circles - Signup Here
Instructor: Debi Warner March 4, 2022, 9:00am - 3:00pm Location: Trophy Gardens craft room There are no straight lines in nature. This class will look at the history of circles in quilting and then try some fun techniques to sew circles. For fun, nothing beats making circles with thread on your sewing machine using a thumbtack, tape and a cork. You can learn to sew circles by playing with Drunkard’s Path. We will try 3 of these techniques. Using real circles in quilting is pretty much an outcome of the modern quilt movement. “Tom Russell circles” is about using the position of the circle to recall flowers and using leaves and beading to highlight them. In this class we will each make a wall hanging. A list of possible themes is listed below. Pick your favorite and select fabrics that will support your theme. Circle Themes:
