The
Seacoast Modern Quilt Guild has invited Jen Carlton Bailly, also known as
@bettycrockerass to visit our guild on September 9th and 10th
to teach two workshops where she will share her secrets for sewing successful
curves!
The
workshops will be 6 hours each running from 9 am-noon with an hour break for
lunch and then resuming at 1 and finishing at 4:00 pm. They will be held at the West Newbury
Town Annex located at 381 Main Street, West Newbury, MA.
The
workshop held on Saturday, Sept. 9th will be Sew all the Curves Plus Design:
Does the idea of sewing curves scare the heck out of you? Don’t let it! In this
class, students will learn three different methods of sewing curves – pinning,
gluing, and freehand. They’ll learn tips and tricks to creating a beautiful
curve as well as tips on how to square up their blocks and sew them together
with beautiful matching points. Students will leave wanting to sew all the
curves!
Once
all you have all those curves sewn let’s spend some time figuring out all the
designs you can create with them.
On
Sunday, Sept. 10th we will enjoy the Scandinavian Flower Garden
Sampler: (see image above) The Scandinavian Flower Garden Sampler is an
exciting new pattern featuring mod styling and big blocks to create an
impactful, chic, and curvy-licious quilt. Whether students are beginners at
sewing curves, wanting to put all their new skills into practice, or just play
and learn new tips and tricks this class is for them! Students will work with a
variety of different sizes curves as well how to best use color, value, and hue
to make their designs pop.
