Cut Glass Pickle Dish Workshop from Sew Karen-ly Created...

Have you ever wanted to make a pickle dish? Not the kind that holds gherkins and olives at your festive table, but one from fabric, whose points and bevels sparkle like cut glass.

As part of this year's Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival, I will be teaching a full day workshop on the red and white runner pictured. This table runner pattern is a perfect introduction to conquering a much-loved quilt block. We will use both freezer paper piecing, as well as traditional piecing, to make this generously sized (26" x 38") runner.

Building an Improv Toolbox with Moonlight Quilters of Sonoma County from Goer

I had a lovely time with Moonlight Quilters of Sonoma County today for 6 hours of Building an Improv Toolbox. This workshop is an opportunity to play and you can join me in this workshop on November 5! (P.S. I'm also teaching All About Angles in a 3-hour workshop on November 4.)

I often forget to "take pictures" in a Zoom workshop. It's so different than being in the physical room with folks. Today I remembered to get a shot of our show and tell at the midpoint when we took a break for lunch. It's ...

FQSG Antique Quilt Block Challenge from Nestlings By Robin

The March 2021 issue of

AQ magazine is out and inside

you will find an article by Moi :)

Last year the Florida Quilt

Study Group did an antique

block challenge with very

few rules, thankfully!

I was overly ambitious and

worked on 2 blocks because

each had different fabrics that spoke

to me. Using techniques

from my Fabric Collaborations

workshop, I created 2 unique pieces

and then wrote an article about

the process for AQ.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/861387607368392

Our Fabulous exhibit is

now on display

at THE Quilters Hall of Fame

in Marion, Indiana.

THANK YOU,

KATHY METELICA CRAY!!
