Hello YHQG Members!
This is a friendly reminder about registering for one of Jacquie Gering’s workshops for an exciting new take on quilts! Spaces are still available and the workshops look wonderful! The workshops will offered at our annual outdoor Quilts at the Creek show, held at Black Creek Pioneer Village.
Jacquie Gering of Tall Grass Studio (http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.ca/) will be teaching two workshops at Black Creek Pioneer Village in August, 2014. Jacquie is at the forefront of the modern/contemporary quilt movement and she is the co-author of “Quilting Modern”. The workshops are as follows:
Friday, August 15, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Scrappy Improvisation Workshop. This class will help you use all those scraps that are too big to throw away, but you’re not sure how to use. Learn this unique twist on improvisational piecing and discover and learn to use the concept of “inflow” to manipulate the negative space in your quilt. The class also includes instruction on paneling your blocks to create a unique layout for your quilt.
Saturday, August 16, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. – Slice and Insert
Workshop. Learn the basic technique and a new adaptation, a foolproof strategy for matching inserts, simple techniques for adding complexity to a design as well as how to work with even width and wedge shaped inserts. Combine simple sewing with a new skill and create your own linear design.
The cost for each day is $90, which includes entrance to Black Creek and parking.
