16th October 2010 -West Kirk in HELENSBURGH - NOTE VENUE

Full day workshop, Endless stairs.  Please email or phone Rhona for a copy of the pattern, and directions to the church - it is the one in Colqhoun Square in Helensburgh, and we are in the large hall.  We are hoping to have catering so please contact one of the committee to let us know you are coming.

We will bring some machines, irons, boards, cutters etc, and fabric.  If you have creams and colours that you would like to use, please cut in strips, 2 and a half inch wide by at least 19 inch long (from a fat quarter should work).  You need a strip of light and a strip of dark to make the block, precut strips gets you sewing faster!

5th March 2011 - The Studio - Workshop Stretched Stars

A new look at stars based on half square triangles, squares and rectangles.  We have limited numbers of the patterns for this workshop, so I will not be handing many out, but if you go to about quilting .com and typed in streched stars, Janet Wickell, you should get the pattern there.    Contact Rhona in advance for this one, as I will print out papers for making the half square triangles so that they are the same size and accurate.

June 25th 2011 AGM and Workshop at The Studio

Workshop - easiest applique ever - Rhona will demonstrate an easy applique to add interest to any plain old square!  The only special tool which may be handy is either baking parchment, greaseproof paper or a silicon baking sheet, to prevent sticking, but not absolutely required!
