This project will be great for beginners as we will be sewing together. I will share with you traditional piecing techniques with our regular tools as well as with my favourite tools, which makes our quilting journey less stressful and more fun – units are oversized and then we square up, we don’t have to try so hard to be perfect but we will look perfect at the end of the day – I told one husband once: you can build a house with a hammer and handsaw but it is much easier with power tools – these rulers are our power tools. This will also be great for our more experienced quilters, there may be some techniques you are not familiar and besides, it’s always nice to sew a new project.
So let’s meet each Mondays @ 1:00pm on YouTube. Each week I will demo one of twelve 12” blocks and we'll have a couple weeks for setting blocks or sashing and putting it all together. This will bring us through this crazy grey time and into spring with will bring sunshine and gardens and hopefully an end to COVID!
Also, we have started a Cindy Bee’s Quilt Sampler 2022 Facebook group where we can share our progress and ask questions when not live, someone will probably have an answer for you if I’m not available - quilters love to share our knowledge.
Remember, we are just a little Northern Ontario quilt shop. No fancy equipment or video studio, no professional videographer. Just Tiff and I welcoming you into our classroom via Facebook and YouTube.
We will be talking about and sharing our blocks and your questions on our Facebook group as we go, but the Live streams will be on our YouTube channel as it has better steaming capabilities.
