List of Supplies:
Basic student kit - $30, will be provided in class. Includes enough hand-woven Guatemalan textiles for the quilt top.
You'll get 30 assorted designs, pre-washed and ready to use in your project.
You need to supply additional coordinating fabrics; see below
Basic sewing & sewing machine supplies
Sewing machine with ¼” foot
Measuring tape
Fabric & paper scissors
Rotary cutter, mat & ruler (at least 12” long)
Plastic template material & fine permanent marker
Notebook & colored pencils (to sketch and take notes)
Masking Tape
2 yds. FLANNEL or Pellon fleece for a design wall (at least 72” long) – this is crucial!
For the quilt top: coordinating fabrics to mix-n-match with the Guatemalan textiles:
Variety is important. Bring 20 – 25 fat quarters in assorted colors and patterns in light, medium and dark values. Suggestions: my “Guatemalan Rainbow” collection by Robert Kaufman, bright solids, geometrics, plaids, directional prints, ombre/gradated patterns.
Iron & ironing board
Heavy duty, multi-plug extension cord & table top lamp
Optional:
I will bring extra, assorted Guatemalan fabric that students can purchase if they so desire. Washing & care instructions will be provided.
Note to Workshop Organizers: * All students in my classes need a "design board" to work on. They will bring 2 yds. of flannel or fleece to cover it with, so they can use it in lieu of a design wall. These boards should measure approx. 30" x 72". (If boards cannot be available, then each student needs at least 30x72" of individual wall space. They can tape the flannel to the wall instead).This is crucial!
* I will need a slide projector for this workshop, and a CD player. Thank you!
