This workshop is the beginning level for the Laura Heine Method. Each participant will choose their own “Whatevers!” pattern, there are 59 available, prior to class. So each participant will be doing a slightly different project, but the technique is the same. Each “Whatevers!” can be used to make runners, potholders, tiny quilts.

Time: 10am to 4pm
Cost: Members: $65

Maximum: 25 attendees
“The Hunter's Star is a classic pattern that has endured because of how graphic it is, how complicated it looks, and not to mention, how beautiful it is. After all, who doesn't love stars?
I like to paper piece Hunter's Star because, well,
that's what I teach. Paper Piecing produces a precision that's hard to achieve with other methods. Paper piecing can also eliminate extra seams.
My ‘No More Tears’ © method accomplishes the same accuracy in less time, with less stress, and
much more fun!”

“This will be a fun and fluid workshop building log cabin blocks that are intentionally less than perfect, aka Wonky Blocks. This workshop is a great way to work through your scraps or is perfect for that 2 1/2" pre-cut strip bundle. I suggest using prints that are not so busy and read more as solids so that the strips stand out. There is no required finished size, or set amount of blocks, it can be sewers choice.
I will complete the workshop by teaching how to fit the random blocks together.”
