In January, I’ll be teaching a 2-day workshop on my Circles technique.\u00a0 I teach participants how to design and create their own freezer paper patterns, and demonstrate a variety of techniques I use to create my circle quilts.<\/p>\n

In a 1-day workshop, most participants complete at least 2 (and sometimes 4 or 5!) circle blocks of their own design.\u00a0 At the January workshop we will have the benefit of an additional day, which will allow participants to work on bigger and\/or more complex circle quilts.\u00a0\u00a0 I also want to show how the techniques can be used for other shapes – not just circles.<\/p>\n

I have a few class samples of circles, but now I am working on some samples showing how one of the techniques can be used for other shapes.<\/p>\n

I made a quick design in MS Paint, then drew it out on a 12 x 12 inch piece of freezer paper.\u00a0 I cut apart the freezer paper and pressed it to the back of the fabrics.<\/p>\n

This is a high-level explanation of one of the techniques I teach in the workshop.\u00a0 I reassembled the pattern by overlapping the seam allowances.\u00a0 Working from the back, I stitched in the gap between the paper templates.\u00a0 Then from the front, I trimmed each seam allowance very close to stitching.\u00a0 This leaves raw edges, which I\u00a0 covered with thin black bias tape.\u00a0 It’s fusible tape, so I pressed it into place.\u00a0 The tricky part was getting nice sharp corners without burning my fingers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love how my tools are the same colors as the fabrics.\u00a0 I think this is a good illustration of some of my favorite colors!<\/p>\n

\"terryaske_class-sample\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are all of the class samples.\u00a0 If they look wrinkled, it’s because most of them still have the freezer paper ironed to the back, so I can use them at the workshop to illustrate the various steps I use to construct them.<\/p>\n
