In case any of you have missed the newsletter that is published by
Stitched Studio, heads up, it came out during the last week or so. Some great class offerings for quilters and wanna be quilters are scheduled. Also, I had the pleasure of quickly meeting JD Shuway. I've heard my quilting friends talk of a JD and sure enough it is the one and same. JD has two classes at Stitched Studio: blind, machine applique and quilt as you go-QAYG. I peaked at the sample that Michelle has on display and it is gorgeous. It doesn't have the stitching that raw edge has, but has a folded edge using a transparent thread- looks as if it it hand done. Just getting her opinion on clear thread would be worthwhile. Horror stories abound as to which thread to use and which to avoid!
I've made four quilts using QAYG methods, each quilt gets a bit better and less bulking and less obvious. It sure does speed things up a bit, especially for hand quilters who get tired of the piles ofquilt tops accruing hours attention. The
School of Sewing and Class Schedule is here.
Not shown on the schedule yet is the repeat of the Curve It Up Ruler BOM. Michelle had such a great response to the BOM just completed, she is offering another go at it in the fall using solids and a different arrangement.
Sorry for the sideways picture....I saw on Click, a BBC America weekend show, that a new app is available fixing this problem with Iphone and IPad photos...it's on my wish list.
For those of you who want a heads up on a QAYG method check
this tutorial. The blogger from terryaskeartquilts made this
modern table runner the class instructor.
