Dresden Plate is one of the classical block designs usually found in a sampler quilt. Made up of multiple “blades” of colour, it is a great way to use up scraps to make a scrappy quilt or leftovers from a quilt to make a complementary pillow cover. In this class, you will make 2 variations of a Dresden Plate block, one with a curved blade and one with a pointed blade. Depending on which angle of ruler you choose, your plate will have 12, 16 or 20 blades which can be monochromatic or multi-coloured. Different methods of attaching the Plate to background material will be demonstrated.

Instructor Bio: | I grew up watching my mother sew clothes for all of us seven kids. Once I was able to reach both the machine and foot pedal, I was off and sewing everything that challenged me. After my first quilting class with Monique Bloomfield, I was hooked. I retired to spend more time quilting and two years into retirement began working at Taylor Sewing. With encouragement from Donna Taylor I began to teach a few classes. There is nothing more rewarding than to see the enthusiasm of participants when they create something they thought was beyond them and then go on to use their newly found confidence and skills to create something wonderful. I love to share my knowledge and experience as well as leaning new techniques and helpful hints from other quilters. I have a lot of work ahead of me clearing up my STABLE Stash Totaling Above & Beyond Life Expectancy. |
