What is Quilters Circle?
Our Quilters Circle is an exciting new program which will be held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 10 am or 7 pm, starting on September 11th! Join with other quilters as we gather together to learn from each other and share quilts (of course), education, ideas, fun, friendship and food – and who knows what else!!
Registration
Each month, register for one of the two sessions of Quilters Circle.
On the second Wednesday of each month we will hold sessions at 10 am and 7 pm. The sessions will last approximately an hour, depending on the program for that month. Registration will allow us to track numbers and ensure that there is space for everyone. Registration is only $5/month. You can register online, instore or give us a call. (You can come at the last minute without pre-registering, but a place is not guaranteed if you have not pre-registered.)
The Project!
Each month receive a pattern for one block from a fabulous sampler quilt to allow you to create your own unique quilt at the end of the year.
This year we are using a wonderful pattern called the Designer Showcase Sampler! This pattern features 16 intricate, but easily pieced, blocks that feature the combined work of 16 individual designers who each created an original 12” quilt block that showcases their special talents. Read a little about each designer as you follow the directions to complete the blocks. Quilting techniques range from Flying Geese and Half-Square and Quarter-Square triangles, to Pinwheels, Log Cabin construction and more. Finishing at approximately 75” square when sashing and cornerstones are added, the Designer Showcase Sampler is a unique quilt that is sure to please! You will receive 12 blocks during the course of the year and the additional 4 blocks and finishing instructions will be provided at the end of the year.
If you attend the Quilters Circle session in person you will receive the monthly pattern at no charge.
Miss a month – no worries!! Patterns will be available for $3 for anyone who missed the session.
You can choose to just make the quilt blocks each month, or decide to finish the quilt - your own way, or by using the finishing option provided in the pattern.
PLANNING YOUR PROJECT
To assist you we're attaching a list of the fabric requirements. We will have hard copies of this information which you can pick up at the store or get at the first meeting of Quilters Circle.
Pull from your stash, purchase your fabric at Country Concessions, or source your fabric elsewhere. The choice is yours!
The fabric requirements list multiple mediums and darks. Please note that you DO NOT have to have this number of mediums and darks; you can choose to have just a few mediums and darks if you prefer. It will just affect the scrappiness level of your quilt. Also note - you do not have to have a border stripe for your border (Medium #7). You can choose to use whatever fabric you like for the border. You can also purchase this later if you prefer.
