A note from Judi . . .

It is time to come out of hibernation!

Flowers are popping up and we can

venture outside without scarves and

hats and mittens. This is always my

busy time, plunked between too cold to

do much and too hot to do much!!! And

it is busy here at the store too.

There are great classes coming

up. Robert LoMascolo is teaching

bookbinding, and Jackie O'Brien is

going to teach us how to make quilting

easier with Tucker Trimmers.

Rosemary Burris is coming back in the

fall. If you are interested call soon - the

class is filling up already.

Our 32nd Anniversary Sale is coming

up in June. We are always trying new

things so this year will be a Mystery

Sale. You will get a fat quarter with a

discount inside. Everybody will get at

least 25% which is our usual

anniversary discount, but some lucky

quilters will do even better!

Remember to bring in your finished

projects for Show and Tell. We all love

to see what you are doing with our

fabric!

WELCOME NEW TEACHER: ROBERT LOMASCOLO Robert is a professor of Book Arts at Wells College in Aurora, New York where he teaches bookbinding and printing courses. In addition, Robert runs his own studio “The Press of Robert LoMascolo” located in a custom built structure on the corner of Moonshine Road and Rt. 90 in Aurora. The studio is a “working museum” filled with antique printing presses and bookbinding equipment all of which are kept in continual use producing books and ephemera for an array of clients. He will be speaking at the Skaneateles Historical Society about bookbinding on March 26th at 7:30pm.


ONE BLOCK WONDER with Jackie O’Brien In this class you will learn to: Identify and cut 6 fabric repeats Align the repeats Cut equilateral triangles Sew the hexagon blocks Sort the blocks by predominate color Design with the hexagons Sew the quilt top together and finish the edges The blocks are made from one fabric with very little waste! You cut and sew equilateral triangles forming hexagons and then design with these kaleidoscopic blocks. There are NO “Y” seams. This is similar to but not Stack-n-Whack!

Because this quilt features one repeated block, design merely involves playing with the colors and shapes in any way you choose. The quilt you produce will have more energy and movement than the original fabric. The amount of fabric required is 6 repeats of fabric for the blocks or you may choose to use a panel. When using panels, 7 panels are needed, 6 for the repeats and the 7th panel to place on the front with hexagons designed around the panel. Saturdays: April 27 and May 18 10am - 2pm Fee: $60.00

PLAYING WITH COLOR AND TEXTURE with Sharon Bottle Souva Color and value are the essential starting place for a successful quilt. In this workshop we will explore the use of color, value and texture. Designs will be transformed into 16 quilt blocks, that when repeated, will develop into secondary patterns and beyond. Students can use available stencils or create their own simple designs that will be used as patterns for their block. Fabric choices will include instruction of value and color to achieve a design that will be strong and dramatic. Saturday, June 15 10 - 4pm $65.00
