We will be having a national speaker at both of our day and night meetings in September. Carla Klop, from La Belle, Florida will be joining us in person!
For almost 30 years Carla made all her quilts by hand – and only discovered the rotary cutter in 2005! Recognizing how much faster making quilts would become, her ideas just went wild. There wasn’t enough time to complete all these quilts without finding ways to go faster. So this resulted in Shortcut Sheets – an accident discovered by breaking the rules. In this hour long presentation, Carla shares the path it took to go from Quilter to Designer. She has many quilts to show, all created over the
past few years. All 8 methods have been published in a binder format along with
practice patterns for each technique, quilt patterns, tips and worksheets.
Afterwards, she will be teaching a workshop on Saturday, September 13th from 9 am to 3 pm. Students can learn any of the 8 Shortcut Sheet methods in a one day class! The 8 methods are photographed below!
Cost of the class is $40/person, kit fee is $25 and includes fabric - pattern to make 28x28 centerpiece. Supplies needed for this class are 24" quilting ruler, 4 1/2" square up ruler and basic sewing and cutting supplies.
Sign up at the meetings this month or contact Calie. Sign-ups close on August 12th!
