***Time of workshop TO BE DETERMINED despite the 6:30pm time that's listed***Traditional mariner’s compass quilts are beautiful but can be difficult and time consuming to piece. This 6 hour workshop will change that! Draft a traditional Mariner’s Compass using only a pencil and ruler, then sew directly on the pattern using foundation piecing techniques and NO TEMPLATES! Compasses can be made any shape and any size once the technique is learned.
Supply List: Sewing machine and Basic Sewing Supplies - pins, paper & fabric scissors, ripper, name tag, rotary cutter, mat and 6” x 24” ruler, mechanical pencil, colored pencils, and transparent tape.
Bring one of the following: small iron & ironing surface, wooden finger iron, or small wall paper seam roller.
Optional: Add-a-quarter ruler.
Fabric:
1. 1 yard border - this is the fabric the compass will be placed on. A multicolor print works well here.
2. 1/2 yard lightbackground (behindpoints)
3. 1/4 yard each of a light and dark value of three different colors (6 fabrics total). These fabrics will make up the points of the compass. The light and dark value of each of the colors gives the points a 3-dimensional look. Pull these colors from the multicolor border fabric.
4. Paper for drafting the compass will be provided.
