Spot On-Kathy Johnson Full Day

You will have the choice in this class

to make 2 different blocks.

First there is just a simple Hexagon

Shape. You can make a table runner

making 5 of these blocks. Use the

diagram on the side for your fabric

choices.

Your second choice for blocks is the

Diamond Star Block. You may choose

to make the same table runner with

this block or start a quilt.

Fabric for Second Choice

For each block you will need a 2 ½”

strip of the star color and a 2” strip

of a background color. For the center

you will need a 2 ½” X 11” strip. If

you want to use these blocks in the

above table runner you will need 2 border fabrics. For the center and end blocks you will need 3

– 1 ½” strips and the 2nd and 4th blocks will require 2 – 1 ½” strips. Or you can choose to just

start making blocks for a quilt.

Supplies

Spice Island-Vickie Loh Full Day-Beginner

6

Just as a combination of spices enhances your cooking, a combination of fabric scraps can spice

up your quilts. The scrappy blocks in this quilt are also wonderful when planned with

coordinating full width of fabric (WOF) yardage, or fat quarters, or even layer cakes. And you

can make a wonderful variation using only 5 fabrics plus a colorful striped fabric. Learn different

techniques to cover each of these fabric choices.

Fabric List – Because you can make any size and number of blocks, it is difficult to give a

definite fabric list. Sashing and border fabrics can be determined later and could include a piano

key strip between an inner and outer border.

(A)-For scrappy blocks, bring LOTS of scraps cut in strips 1 ¼”, 1 ½”, 1 ¾”, 2” and 2 ¼” wide and

with as much length as possible. My blocks finished at 9” and have almost 20 different fabrics

per block. I used mostly scraps but also cut some yardage.

(B)-For more color controlled, well-planned blocks using full WOF yardage, use ¼ to 1/3 yard

cuts of 10 to 20 coordinating fabrics cut in 1 ¼”, 1 ½”, 1 ¾”, 2” and 2 ¼” wide strips. If you are

uncertain about cutting, bring fabric to class to cut. Blocks finish around 9”.

(C)- For blocks using fat quarters, bring 10 to 20 fat quarters that are either scrappy or color

coordinated. Please bring the fat quarters to class to cut. Blocks finish around 6”.

(D)-Layer cakes also work well but please bring them to class to cut. Blocks finish about 6” and

one layer cake of 42 fabrics will make 60 to 70 blocks or a combo of blocks and piano keys.

(E)-For the striped fabric variation bring 1/3 yard full WOF for each of five coordinating fabrics

(black and white) and one yard of striped fabric. If you want any of these fabrics used for

borders, sashing or binding, buy extra. This will make twenty blocks each about 9”. More blocks

and a piano key border will require additional fabric.

Supply List

BSK (basic sewing kit) – Walking foot (optional)

RCE (rotary cutting equipment) Revolving cutting mat – (optional)

9 ½” square ruler – for those making scrappy blocks (A). If you don’t have that size, bring

something close like a 9”, 10” or 12”.

Setting triangle – for those making blocks from full width fabric (D) and striped variation (E).

Masking tape to mark ruler

Friday Evening Classes 6:30 pm – 9:30pm

squares. Again use your darker squares from the charm packs and layer cake.

Prep before Class:

gift.

Cutting Before Class:

Carefully cut and label the strips for the center, section 1a, on page 2 of the pattern. After they

are cut the width of the fabric you will cut them on the fold so that you have approx. 22” long

strips.

Carefully cut the strips from the shaded fabrics, section 1b. Particularly pay attention to your

first cut from each fat quarter. You want to cut a 3” strip at the folded end of the fat quarter.

So trim off the fold and then cut a 3” rectangle. You will have 2 – 3” X 9” rectangles. Then cut

the 4, 2” strips the opposite direction. These will be 2” X approx. 18”-19”.

Wedges-Kris Jacobson

Level- Advanced Beginner to Intermediate. Using a 10 degree ruler students will cut wedges

and make 60 degree wedges. Then you play with the wedges to find a layout of their choice.

The photos show one choice of a layout and what one block looks like. In class we will look at

some of the layout options. Any 60 degree layout will work with these blocks. You quilt blocks

can be very modern looking or more traditional depending on your fabric choice.

Materials

Fabric for wedges: various colors, 1/4 yards or fat quarters or 9” x 12” strips of scraps

Fabric for triangle points: 4” Strips of a contrasting color.

I started with 20 blocks and then made more. In class you will want to make at least 6 blocks

and you can make a table runner with that many. I also choose to do it scrappy and my strips

were 9 x 3 for each 10 degree wedge and there are 6 wedges in each block.

Optional Book: Wedge Quilt Workshop by Christine Cameli

Hexagon Star – Kari Huber

Class level - confident

beginner/intermediate

In this class, students will be

constructing a deceptively simple

hexagon star with a jelly roll and

background yardage. Pre-sewing

the strip sets before class is

recommended but not required.

Those who pre-sew can expect to

have a finished quilt top at the end

of class.

Pre-sewing instructions:

Divide jelly roll into four distinct

color groupings, for example: Blue,

orange, green and yellow (my

sample colors). You will need 7

strips of each color, so 7 blue, 7

orange, etc. Sewing the strata in

the same order, i.e.: blue orange,

green, yellow, create 7 strata.

Press seams all in one direction. If

you have questions about how to

do this, please contact me. You can expect to get your strip sets sewn in about 3-4 hours or less.

Supply list:

Book: New Ways with Jelly Rolls by Pam and Nicky Lintott available at Dakota Sew and So,

Dickinson. Holly will be glad to ship the book to you if you aren't able to get to the shop. The

shop phone is 701 225-1408.

14

Hexagon Star Continued

One jelly roll with at least 4 distinct colors and good contrast. Batiks work beautifully for this,

but other, "solid" looking fabrics would also work.

3 yards background fabric. We will be using this in class to finish the top.

1/2 yard binding fabric - not needed in class.

60 degree triangle ruler that you probably already have. It must be large enough to make 8 1/2"

triangles. I prefer the Clearview Triangle Ruler.

Basic sewing kit - neutral thread (I prefer lime green, of course, but go with what works for

you!), sewing machine, cutting mat and rotary cutter, design wall, 24" long ruler, 12" square

ruler if you have it and any other basic sewing items you find necessary. Don't forget the

Snickers bar for the teacher.

On Point – Denise Fried

This quilt is easy to pull together. All you need is a jelly roll, background fabric that contrast

with the fabrics in the jelly roll. You'll have this quilt On Point in no time at all.

Pattern required (can be obtained online at Craftsy under the Midnight Quilter, On Point)

On Point Continued

Materials:

2 ½” wide strips 40 (jelly roll works well)

Background and border fabric 3 ½ yards

Quilters Bios

Kathy Johnson: Kathy started quilting in 1983. Little did she know where that first class would

lead? Kathy loves teaching techniques that students have instant success with. Kathy has been

published in several books and calendars and has her own pattern line. Check out her web page

at www.augustwindquiltdesigns.com. Contact Kathy at quilted@restel.com or 701-828-3159.

Denise Fried: Denise has been involved in many different hobbies and crafts throughout the

years. She started sewing in 4-H and high school. She decided to give quilting a try in 2004

when her daughter wanted a t-shirt quilt for graduation. This is currently her oldest UFO! Since

catching the quilting bug, she has jumped in with both feet. There isn’t a notion or ruler that

she doesn’t want to try. The smaller the pieces the better! She loves to attend retreats, quilt

shows and take classes to learn new techniques. She loves to spread her love of quilting to

others by teaching classes or one on one with friends. Her husband, Ralph, has embraced her

love of quilting and is building her dream quilting studio.

16

Carol Kummer: Carol started sewing in 4-H and continued thru Home Ec. She made clothing

and many craft items. Then she started to quilt and was hooked. Carol likes to try new

techniques and taking classes. This has led to a large number of UFOS. With quilting you always

have friends in each quilt shop you stop at. She has found that traveling and finding new quilt

shops is so much fun. You can buy fabric a lot faster than you can sew it up. This has led to large

stash that she is not sure she can sew up in her life time. But she keeps working at it. Carol is

married to Brooks and has two children and three grandkids. They live on a ranch and have a

full menagerie of animals.

Kris Jacobson: Kris started sewing in 4-H and acquired a Minor in Textiles and Clothing in

College. In the late ‘80’s she started getting interested in quilting. Kris loves the process of

playing with colors and fabrics and likes to learn new things. She has won awards at local quilt

shows and fairs and was juried into the Minnesota Quilt Show. There is always something new

to try. She began teaching at Badlands Quilters Retreat in 1995. Kris and her husband also own

a ranch that Kris has a full time job to support at the County Courthouse. They have one son

and daughter-in-law and 5 grandchildren. You can contact Kris at krisjacobson@yahoo.com or

call her at 701-279-5797.

Vickie Loh: Vickie started quilting in the mid 1980’s and has been teaching since 1995. She

enjoys all aspects of quilting from choosing the fabrics to sewing on the binding. She has won

awards at local quilt shows and the state fair, but the highlight of her quilting hobby was

winning a trip to the 2001 Paducah, KY quilt show with her leap frog quilt, which featured hand

appliqué and 3 dimensional flowers. Vickie lives on a ranch in southwestern ND where she also

runs an architectural drafting business out of her home. She has two children and 8

grandchildren. Besides quilting, she enjoys gardening in the summer and deer hunting in the

fall. Contact Vickie at timvickieloh@ndsupernet.com or 701-863-6761

Faye Grandulen: Faye has been sewing since she was a child and seriously quilting for 23 years.

She has been longarm quilting for 22 years. Faye opened "Faye's Henhouse Quilts in 1996. She

is retiring and closing my shop on May 1, 2018 to travel and work on UFO's at home and

retreats. Faye grew up in a large family on a cattle ranch in the middle of the Mountains in

Montana. She married a North Dakota farmer in 1972. Jim passed away in 2014. (They had 41

years together) Faye & Jim moved to ND in 1984. Faye still lives on the Farm 10 miles west of

Portland. Faye has two wonderful Daughters, one great son-in-law and three super wonderful

granddaughters.

Kari Huber has been teaching quilting since the 1900's. In that time, she has learned a thing or

two and now uses that knowledge and love of quilting and fabric daily in her job as a fabric

sales rep for Jaftex Corporation. Being on a permanent shop hop is a great adventure and has

lead to many wonderful friendships and opportunities. It has also lead to a stash roughly the

size of Rhode Island! My advice to you is to always support your local quilt shops! They

appreciate your business!
