The SAQA Weekend is Here!

Workshop Supply lists

Sarah Ann Smith's Workshop

Sewing machine capable of free-motion

Free-motion quilting foot and, if needed, thread stand. 

Extension cord
Lamp

Small quilt sandwich materials, about 12x12 to 15 x 15 (or 10x14, just a decent size with four areas to play/quilt):

• Top fabric should be white, muslin, or other light  fabric
• Batting
• Backing (plain is good, not a print.  If you’ve got a “why do I have this?” print that is fairly plain on the wrong side, that works, too, for the back.
• Safety pins to baste

Threads

• White
• Very dark (purple, navy, or  forest green)
• One color in three values, for example tan/med. brown/deep chocolate or lilac/purple/eggplant—whatever color you have that you can get 3 distinct values

Several bobbins, with light, medium and dark colors (or just use a medium value)

Marking tool:  blue pen is perfect!  Marking pencils also great (just be wary of yellow anything).  But since this is just a practice effort, anything including plain old No. 2 pencil will work.  

If you have an idea for a quilt, bring a photo or sketch, if you would like quilting suggestions.  We may have time for a brainstorming / idea session.
