Calgary MQG member Kerry Foster has very generously offered to teach a class free of charge for members on her techniques that she has published in her new book: Paint-by-Number Quilts. Each person attending the class must own a copy of the pattern. You can purchase Kerry's publication at CT Publishing, Amazon, Fat Quarter Shop, and Google Books, at My Sewing Room, or ask for it at your local shop as well as her etsy shop. If you get a digital copy make sure you have a printed copy with you at the class. If you order a supplemental pattern from pennydog.com, make sure you have the book as well because that's where the actual instructions are. You can purchase copies at the November meeting on Thursday November 15th but you MUST let her know ahead of time so she can bring one for you.She'll be teaching the raccoon, but the deer is also simple enough to get done, or you can get help on any of her patterns. Bring a bag big enough to take your project home without folding it.
In general for Kerry's projects you're going to need (and this info is the same as what's in your book):
- fabric shears OR rotary cutting mat and 28mm rotary cutter
- sharp straight or embroidery scissors
- paper scissors
- Freezer paper (shiny on one side, enough to cover your pattern)
- washi tape (if your pattern is bigger than your freezer paper)
