Cheryl is demonstrating some of the variations of the Value HST quilt blocks
Linda one of our London MQG Members attended both of Cheryl Arkison's workshops. It looks like she had a great time and everyone learned so much and got a lot of piecing done.
Cheryl is a terrific teacher. Her emphasis was on processes with us and encouraged us to play! She empowered us and inspired us.
My favourite tips from today
- when making HST's, start stitching with the diagonal on the right side of your needle. This is opposite to what I typically do, and with this change my HST's were much more consistent and accurate.
- pressing the HST's without stretching the bias edges
- square up - I'm already a fan of this process
- a process for transferring your blocks on your design wall, to your sewing machine - to keep everything in the right order, in the right orientation, all at once.
A fabulous day with tips large and small.
