UPDATE REGARDING GARDEN GRADATION CLASS!

Due to popular demand, I’ve made the Garden Gradation class a one-day class on Thursday, June 13, 2013 from 10 am – 4 pm. So if that fits your schedule better, please call Our Sewing Room at (541) 225-4857 to sign up!

For more information about the class, go to the Classes tab on my website. Fabric packs are available for purchase if you don’t have a lot of large-scale prints to get started.

Garden Gradation Quilt Fabric Requirements

(If you have trouble opening either of the two documents above, just let me know and I’ll send you the files directly via email. Contact me at lisa[at]towerhousepeople[dot]com)

I will also be offering a STARTER FABRIC PACKS in a selection of colorways. The quilt pattern calls for 22 border squares and 20 interior squares. My “starter kit” will include only 20 precut squares…but that will get you started. The squares are ironed and precut to the required size. This is a pre-selected and pre-cut stash and saves you time and money if you don’t have a lot of large-scale fabrics in your stash and don’t want to buy 1/4 yards of twenty different fabrics! All you need to do is add a few more squares from your stash and get some solid fabrics in a gradation to match. These fabric kits can be purchased from me, or at Our Sewing Room, during normal business hours. They will be available after May 10th.

Our Sewing Room is located at 448 Main Street in Springfield. Stop by, or call them at 541-225-4857 to register for the class.

Designing the Garden Gradation Quilt

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!
