Peggy Martin: Beyond Tradition Lecture
Peggy Martin is an enthusiastic quilter and teacher specializing in fast and accurate methods that offer many design possibilities. She is best known for “Quick-Strip Paper Piecing,” an assembly-line method of paper piecing many patterns at the same time on strips of fabric. She began quilting in 1981, and became a teacher and lecturer in 1985. In 2010 she was chosen as "Quilting Teacher of the Year" by the International Professional Quilters’ Association. Learn how to free up your own creativity through experimentation and a sense of play. Traditional blocks are used as inspiration for innovative new block designs, interpreted in different variations and settings. See how fabric choices in color, style and design influence the impact of a design in this trunk show of quilts.

Peggy Martin: Evening Star
This Mariner's Compass-style block is simplified and pieced in a fraction of the time with Quick-Strip Paper Piecing, an assembly-line method of paper piecing on strips. Piece it in traditional colors for a classic look, or go wild with directional fabrics and bright colors. Hate curves? Great alternatives to the traditional curved seam, including a pre-basted seam option will be presented. You can complete one 12" block during class. SUPPLY LIST>
