Catch A Wave - with Kathy Groves

Wednesday, November 6      10:30 AM – 4:30

Using the WAVE RULER – learn how to add a little pizzazz to your quilts – with minimal piecing!  Use large scale prints, 12” blocks or even solids / small scale prints!  With the “magical” ruler – you can let the fabric shine!  This can truly be a great QUILT IN A DAY type project!

Pattern:  No pattern – but you’ll need to purchase the WAVE RULER – handouts will give you instructions to take home with you after class!  There will also be a recorded video you can watch if you forget how to use the ruler!

Fabric Requirements 

It’s easy to prepare for this class!  You just need a variety of fun fabrics – cut into 36 ½” lengths.  The widths can be anywhere from 4-5” to 8-10” – or more!  You choose!  This technique / ruler allows you to create fun quilts quickly by taking advantage of large scale prints, border prints – or even large blocks (think 12” nine-patches or something similar!)

Come with your pairs of strips (you need pairs if you want symmetry – if you don’t care – then individual strips can work just fine, too)!  The ruler is built on 12” – but you can work with other dimensions as well – as long as they are divisible by 6 to get an even edge – but hey – you can be creative!  If you are not concerned with full symmetry – then go for it!!!

You’ll even be confident with CURVED PIECING by the end of the day!
