I hope a fun time was had by all, because it certainly was by me! A big thank you to Teri, Joyce, Marlene, Anne, Wanda, and Nancy for making this a really great class. Everyone had very different New York Minute fabrics so it was fun to see them start to come together. Teri had dug into her stash (and what a stash it must be!) and came out with “Dick & Jane” fabrics from the past. Very cute! Marlene had purchased a NYM kit from Sheila. Wanda had some nice solids working for her in her quilt. Anne was making a blue and yellow quilt to hang in her studio. Joyce was creating and unusual effect with the border. And Nancy was creating a happy and colorful NYM as well. So kudos to all you ladies. A very fun day, followed by a book signing and trunk show with Sheila Sinclair Synder, designer of the New York Minute pattern. And Sheila even stopped in and admired all the different NYM fabrics and gave suggestions and advice on the pattern. Thank you Sheila for stopping by!

A New York Minute Quilt Class

I will be teaching a class on how to make “A New York Minute” quilt at Piece by Piece on Saturday, August 13th. This quilt was designed by Sheila Sinclair Snyder (who taught me how to longarm!) and it is now in her new book which just came out, “Perfect-Fit Pieced Borders.” You can sign up for the class by calling Piece by Piece to register, or get more information about the class by going to the class schedule on their website. There are two samples of “A New York Minute” hanging in the classroom at Piece by Piece. One is very modern with greens and browns, and the other is softer with pinks and grays. There are so many ways to make A New York Minute you will most likely want to make more than one! I know I do…and have!

When picking out the fabric for this quilt, it is best to start by finding a multi-colored stripe that you just love, then find other fabrics that coordinate around that stripe.

Directly following the class, Sheila will be on-hand to show and talk about the quilts from her new book, and of course, sign her books.  This is one trunk show you don’t want to miss! For Sheila’s teaching schedule and book tour, check out her website: License To Quilt
