Details

Using the age-old technique of English Paper Piecing (EPP) and the hexagon shape, transform a portion of a much-treasured piece of fabric into something truly special.   A piece of embroidery, an old hankie or a piece of plain fabric which can be beautifully quilted afterwards, can also be used.  This technique is so versatile, that it can create a traditional piece, an ultra-modern one or any style in between.  The options are endless!  Your class sample can be used on its own as a cushion cover, bag side, journal cover or small wall hanging.  More pieces can be made and used together in a quilt of any size.  It can also be used as the centrepiece of a Medallion Quilt. 

Student Requirements:

The compulsory kit contains sufficient paper templates for use in class and to take home

• Basic Sewing Supplies
• Fabric:
  o Fabric with a picture/embroidery/pattern not smaller than 10 inches x 10 inches. This can be a plain piece of fabric if you intend to quilt it beautifully afterwards. If you are using a scrap, please do not cut it to a 10-inch x 10-inch square, bring it as it is.
  o Piece of plain/marbled/mottled/batik fabric to match your picture fabric. This fabric must provide a contrast to your picture fabric and be at least 2 inches of WOF or 4 inches of a fat quarter
• Thread:
  o Tacking thread of any colour but preferably a contrasting colour to your plain fabric. If your plain fabric is light coloured, please do not bring a dark coloured thread that may transfer its colour to yours, such as red.
  o Sewing thread colour to match your plain fabric. If you do not have an exact match, select a slightly darker thread rather than a lighter one. I like to use 100% cotton thread but any thread that you prefer to appliqué with is fine.
• Hand sewing needles of your choice
• Thimble if you usually use one
• Appliqué pins (optional)
• Cutting mat and rotary cutter with a new blade
• Quilt ruler (6 inches x 12 inches or 6 inches x 24 inches)
