Improv Log Cabin Triangle Kaleidoscope Quilts with Cathy Perlmutter
Deadline to register is Feb 6th!!!
An enthralling way to spend a day! Learn to improvise stitch-and-flip triangles on unmarked scrap paper. This is NOT English Paper Piecing or foundation paper piecing - it's much more relaxing! Join 20 triangles into a sparkling “kaleidoscope,” like in the photos. Make a table mat, pillow, wall hanging, or start a larger quilt.
FMQ Basics and Beyond with Karen Miller/Redbird Quilting Co.
Free Motion quilting
April 10th 9am - 3pm In-person
Old Paramus Reformed Church, 660 E. Glen Ave, Ridgewood, NJ
Join Karen of Redbird Quilt Co. for this full-day introduction to Free Motion Quilting(FMQ) and take the first step toward confidently finishing your small quilts and projects on your home or sit-down sewing machine.
The morning kicks off with Karen sharing FMQ fundamentals, including body and hand
positioning, recommended notions, needle and thread choices, tension adjustments, and more. To finish the morning, we’ll dive into practicing several foundational designs, such as echo, swirl, pebble, ribbon, and paisley—starting with discussion, moving to sketching, and finishing with stitching.
In the afternoon, we’ll shift to more advanced techniques, including McTavishing & continuous curve quilting.
Our goal is to demystify the process, grow your skills, and give you the tools and confidence to successfully finish your quilts and small projects at home.
