Classes – York Heritage Quilters Guild

Join Irene Dewar to create the feeling of looking through a crystal glass or rain on a windowpane with fabric. These intriguing shattered images are easily achieved by isolating multiple images, cutting, shuffling and sewing. Smaller images result in the shattered glass effect, while larger landscape motifs produce a painterly effect.

3 Hour Workshop

Improve your quilting skills instantly with just a few simple tools and techniques with Irene Dewar. No more ripping out imperfect seams, ‘V’ or wasted fabrics. Learn the secret to achieving a perfect scant 1/4” and cut straight strips every time. Find out how to speed up your cutting, giving you more time to sew. Make informed choices about tools, notions and threads. Plus, learn how to apply a butted or mitred border that will fit the quilt with no rippling and apply a straight or bias binding. All this and much more in this very information-packed class.

Have a machine with which you can only sew straight seams? Maggie Khaja shares the joy of using your machine’s other stitches! You’ll make two blocks from the ‘Back Home’ design by Denise Sheehan. Machine appliqué a house and three trees using fusible web to attach the fabrics to the background blocks, then embellish with decorative stitches, beads, buttons and charms.
