Dresden Neighborhood

Wednesday, September 27 9:30 - 4:00 pm

In addition to the Dresden Neighborhood Quilt – a wide variety of other Dresden blade finishes will be demonstrated. You are welcome to bring fabrics to make any of these. Sample templates and other Dresden rulers will be available in CLASS for you to use. Feel free to play and design your own fun DRESDEN Quilt Project.

Pattern: Provided in class

Supplies:

Pattern
Circle Template for Center (instructor will provide a 3” template)
Awl or Styletto (Suggested)
Glue Pen
Sewing machine with BOTH open toe and 1/4” sewing feet
Regular sewing supplies (scissors for fabric & paper, chalk pencil/Frixion Pen)
Dresden Ruler (Neighborhood Samples use an 18° Ruler)
Approximately ½ yard of Heat-N-Bond Ultra or HotFix (other fusibles will work – but these products eliminate the need for top stitching all of the appliqué components to your background.)

Fabric Requirements (Honey Bee can create a kit for you. Just ask!)

20 house fabrics (approximately 4” x 10” pieces)
Fabric for Rooftops, Windows and Doors (pull from your scrap bin or 1/8 – 1/4 yard of black) – these are freeform – use colors, fabrics, designs that you wish to use.

o Windows – 20 Scraps @ 1 ½” x 2 ½”

o Doors – 20 Scraps @ 1” x 3”

o Rooftops – 20 Scraps @ 2 ½” x 4 ½”

Background – ¾ yard. Pattern calls for a 24” x 24” piece – but that does NOT allow sufficient room for your appliqué if you choose to embellish . I suggest you cut your fabric at 27” x WOF – and then you can position and trim after you have positioned your town and appliqué to your preferred size.
