time)

November    15:    Fall    Migration    with Beth Kelly and Sue Donovam Sue    and    Beth    are    offering    two very    different    projects,.        Beth:    a    no- tear-out    freezer    paper    piecing    and Sue:   a   strip   piecing   project   using   a   jelly roll or pre cut strips - maybe even strips from your stash. Beth   Kelly:      New   York   Beauty:   No-tear-out   Freezer Paper Piecing New     York     Beauty     blocks     are attention    getters    and    labors    of    love. All   those   perfect   points.   Paper   piecing. Tearing   out   all   that   paper.   Time   and   a toll   on   the   hands.   But   it   doesn’t   have to   be,   if   you   use   freezer   paper   piecing and   the   No-tear-out   method   instead. The   freezer   paper   is   your   reusable   template   and   there’s   no need   to   reduce   the   stitch   length   on   your   machine.   Learn   this method   while   making   the   four   New   York   Beauty   blocks   used as   the   center   medallion   in   the   example.   Each   block   finishes at   8”   square.   Learn   how   to   design   your   own   freezer   paper pieced blocks to complement the center medallion. A    $4.00    materials    fee,    payable    to    the    instructor, provides   you   with   a   set   of   pre-printed   freezer   paper   sheets for all the arcs in the four blocks. Supply List Sue   Donovan:      Jelly   roll   and   fat   quarter   friendly, and strip pieced.  Finished size 55” x 61.”   Made     with     equal     number     of     4 values,     Dark,     Medium     Dark,     Medium Light,   and   Light,   this   can   also   be   totally scrappy,    a    stash    buster!        Check    the supply    list    for    all    the    details.        Starting with   strips   cut   and   sorted   by   values,   you can   get   right   to   work   and   go   home   with   a lot of the quilt top completed.
