SUMMARY:Anita Grossman Soloman WORKSHOP - Self Mitered Log Cabin
DESCRIPTION:Self Mitered Log Cabin\nThe unique Make It Simpler® Self-Mitered Log Cabin Quilt below is a fabric lover’s jewel box. Anita developed a streamlined technique based on her prize-winning entry in Jinny Beyer’s 1997 “Basic Realities” contest. The 6″ finished blocks are simple to sew and the quilt construction is straightforward. Without using pins\, 1 1/2″ strips of fabric intersect on their own to form a precise miter. Expect Anita to have a trick up her sleeve. The book Rotary Cutting Revolution is required for the Self-Mitered Log Cabin.  It is a paperback available from the usual sources. It’s also included free in my Craftsy class as a downloadable bonus eBook (PDF). \nAdvance preparation (cutting 16 different 1 1/2″ x 8″ fabric rectangles:  6 light\, 4 medium\, 6 dark) is necessary for the workshop. Please cut the rectangles from starched fabric for class. \nNote:  Cost for Workshop is $50 for Guild Members and $60 for Non-Members \n  \n[maxbutton id=”7″ ]

SUMMARY:Anita Grossman Solomon WORKSHOP - Starry Stars
DESCRIPTION:Starry Stars\nLearn Anita’s own innovative methods to construct a variety of at least 13 simplified star blocks. Cut streamlined Square-on-Point blocks into components to form 8” and larger finished star variations. Anita’s method eliminates the need to sew any Geese or triangle square units (HSTs). \nIf you are in an extended workshop you’ll have luxurious time to explore compositions and create a traditional or modern work from your quickly made blocks and subunits. \nNote:  Cost for Workshop is $50 for Guild Members and $60 for Non-Members \n  \n[maxbutton id=”6″ ] \n\n

SUMMARY:Frieda Anderson LECTURE
DESCRIPTION:  \nFrieda made her first quilt when she was in high school. She has always made things and she loves the process of creating. In college\, she majored in Art History and minored in ceramics\, but she returned to fiber because it was more satisfying. \nFor years\, Frieda’s focus was on designing and making clothing. All that changed in 1992\, however\, when she was in fashion design and realized that all she wanted to do was make quilts. She has been designing and making original art quilts ever since. \nFrieda finds each step of quilt making\, from the beginning to the end\, a real challenge. She loves the pure creativity involved in conceiving and designing a new quilt. She also loves to piece and fuse. Frieda has found that by fusing smaller pieces\, she can work out design issues. Then\, she likes to make a bigger\, bolder statement and piece the same quilt in a large format. Most of her work is machine quilted and nature inspired. \nJoin Frieda for inspiring lecture where she discusses “Fun\, Free Motion Quilting”. \nMembers – Free\nGeneral Admission – $7
