Pieceful Sunday: Dessert Time Workshop Sample

Today on Pieceful Sunday,  I am showing the workshop sample quilt top that I made this week. It is a modified version for the Dessert Time pattern by Quilt in a Day. I will be teaching the Learn to Make a Quilt Beginner's Workshop in February and March in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Each participant will make this quilt top and quilt it on their own sewing machine. I am a Quilt in a Day certified instructor, and this is one of my favorite quilts.

The pattern consists of 9" half square triangles and a piano key border. See my sample below.

The quilt is lap-sized and measures about 45" x 58". In this 6-week series of workshops, participants will learn how to

• Use a rotary cutter.
• Sew a quarter inch seam.
• Make half-square triangles.
• Accurately piece blocks.
• Sew and cut strip sets.
• Sew borders on a quilt.
• Pin baste a quilt.
• Quilt a quilt top on your own sewing machine.
• Bind a quilt.
• Enjoy making a quilt .

The workshops will be held on Saturdays from 9:00 am-12:00 pm on February 10, 17, 24 and March 10, 17, 24, 2018 at the Tahlequah Armory Municipal Center in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. There will be a Pre-cut Fabric Kit and a Finishing Kit available for purchase as well, or you can use fabric your own fabric.

If you want to learn how to quilt and live in Northeastern Oklahoma, I hope that you will join me!
