Any pattern by Elizabeth Hartman or Sew Fresh – there are many to choose from at Lyons Quilting

Assorted fabrics – Refer to the fabric requirements for the pattern you have chosen. Mary can help you customize the fabrics/colors to your own preferences in class. In general, you can use scraps but remember that you often have to cut multiple pieces for block! Fat quarters or partially used fat quarters work great. You’ll want to make sure you have high contrast so your spectacular piecing will show.

Sewing machine with all the usual supplies, especially a quarter inch foot.  I recommend a size 80 needle. For thread, I recommend Aurifil for piecing – any neutral color is fine, the stitching doesn’t show.

Rotary cutter & quilter’s ruler – I recommend a 12 ½” square ruler but whatever you like best will be fine.

Marking pencils – bring one that will mark on dark fabrics & one that will mark on light fabric.

All your favorite sewing notions such as pins, scissors, tweezers, seam ripper, etc. I also recommend that you bring a bottle of Mary Ellen’s Best Press.

We will be taking a lunch break; you can either bring a lunch or we will be placing an order from Lyons Dairy Bar

Pre-class preparation: None! You might want to have your fabrics pressed.
