Stitcherie Mystery Quilt Virtual Sewalong
We have partnered with Laurie Johnston, owner of Stitcherie in Petrolia to coordinate a "Mystery Quilt" program starting in October specifically for TVQG. Laurie completed a very successful virtual sew along throughout the spring so has lots of experience and the capacity to offer such a option to our members.
Here are some details:
1. The pattern is commercially produced and tested. You will receive instructions by email once a week to keep the homework to a minimum. At the end of the project you will get a paper copy of the pattern. PROJECT WILL LAST APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 6 MONTHS depending on how quickly you sew.
2. Sizes are Large lap/Twin 72"x90" OR QUEEN 90"X90'. Instructions include both sizes with easy to follow charts, highlights to ensure participants are making proper cuts.
3. Only basic quilting tools are required. Tips for using specialty tools will also be provided where possible ie. HST ruler.
4. Skill level is confident beginner with clear instructions, options for skills included.
5. Fabric selection is yours! Very stash friendly, can be scrappy or coordinated and fabric sample charts will be provided. Can use bright, modern, traditional or reproduction fabrics.
6. You can buy anywhere but Stitcherie will also fabric kits in several colour ways and I've attached a PDF showing the selections. Laurie will mail a selection to your home for $10.00 shipping. there would be limited availability so you have to register and order ASAP! Kit costs depend on size but are very reasonable approx $135 for Twin, $175 for Queen. If you want to order in your email to Laurie please include your name, mailing address and phone number. * Please see kits choices below.
7. BEST OF ALL COST TO IS ONLY $20.00 + TAX without fabric AND YOU GET THE PAPER PATTERN ONCE COMPLETED! You can pay by etransfer or with a credit card over the phone to the store.
Together with all the emailed support, Laurie will also create a private Facebook group for participants from our Guild to ask questions, post photos, share conversations, solve problems, etc. Allows for lots of fun community!
We hope you will be interested in participating and if you are please email Laurie directly at Laurie@stitcharie.com with your name, email address and choice of pattern only or pattern and kit including your colour choice by October4th. Laurie will create and administer the group. She can also be reached by phone at 519- 918-2226.
B. We will also have options for individual smaller projects too. Laurie has a number of runner, table toppers, placemat, bag options using new patterns from reputable designers that you probably don't own yet. Sample projects are all available to view before you sign up and would allow for a variety of skill options. Price per Project would be $12.00 + tax and require a minimum of 10 participants per project. We expect to offer these projects later in the fall. Stay tuned for details!
