Announcement from Common Threads Quilt Guild.

Common Threads invites you to join us at our monthly meeting and workshop in July.

The meeting will be on Tuesday July 28th at 6:30 pm at St Catherine’s Catholic Church in Bexley.

Workshop will be Wednesday, July 29th at the Pataskala library from 10-4. Cost is $50 for members $60 for non-members

Our speaker is Sarah Thomas from Sariditty.

She will present how to confidently choose fabric for multi-color and monotone designs. Sarah shares her approach to selecting a harmonious palette that achieves design strength through color placement. She then goes on to explain how she uses color saturation and color value to make the same quilt with alternate coloration. Filled with techniques that, in many cases, let the consumers choose their own preferences to achieve their own results. It also includes instruction for basic patchwork, piecing curves, English and foundation paper piecing, and appliqué. Improve your own quilting skills by learning from a master!

Join Sarah of SARIDITTY for an all-day workshop that takes different elements from her pattern book, "Rainbow Quilt Color Method," for an info-filled day of different piecing methods and techniques. Once the class concludes, you'll leave with blocks and units to continue making Eden, Ribbon Candy, and Double Dip quilts OR jump into many more of Sarah's patterns that utilize the same techniques and tricks. Sarah will provide templates for each section of the class...all you need to do is bring your choice of fabrics and basic sewing notions and your machine.

Key items to be used: 1/4" foot, suggested washable glue stick, fabric marking pen/pencil, piecing thread, suggested small iron or seam roller, cutting mat, rotary cutter (45mm or 60mm but also a 28mm *if* you have it), quilter's ruler, pressing mat

Fabric Reqs:

Eden — 4 Layer Cake Squares (10" square) OR 2-4 FQs

Ribbon Candy — (4) Jelly Roll strips + (1) FQ or 1/4Yd for background
