Sarah Bond Workshops for November

Friday Workshop Details 9am - 4pm via Zoom
Coming Full Circle

Rescheduled from last Spring!
This class is an exploration of the circle, a classic quilt form. I'll be presenting three kinds of circles to you for your quilting pleasure.
The first is String Fan Circle, paper pieced from multiple strips of fabric.
The second is a Swirly Circle, which involves curved piecing (don't be scared!).
The third is a Checkerboard Circle, paper pieced from constructed strip sets.
All of these circles can be combined into one quilt or used separately.
I'll be providing a square shoulder and a hexagonal shoulder to use in designing the set for your quilt.
I'll bring a few samples to show you some ways to put these elements together in your own quilt.
Bring your creative spirit and be ready to share! I will provide patterns and instructions.
This class is appropriate for confident quilters at an advanced beginner or higher skill level. The quilt involves basic paper piecing and curved piecing. Prior experience with these techniques is helpful but not required.
Confident Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced levels.

Saturday Workshop Details 10-5 via Zoom
New York Beauty

Rescheduled from last Spring!
Learn to make the New York Beauty block and its variations the Sarah Bond way.
This is a great technique for creating those perfect points every time.
We'll start the class with a basic, simple New York Beauty block and I'll walk you through the basics of paper piecing.
We'll continue on to variations including flying geese, multiple sets of points and triangles, and long points with narrow outlines. You can try all the variations or just stick with the ones you like.
I'll provide instructions and a set of patterns for each student to take home, as well as all the patterns you need to use in class.
Towards the end of the class, we'll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you.
