Spring Fling is BACK for 2021
Spring Fling 2021
Saturday March 27, 2021
We have been working hard to re-imagine Spring Fling to enable you to once again enjoy a day of workshops, all taught by our own talented members in a safe way.
After the disappointment of having to cancel last year’s event, which offered a wide and varied selection of classes, we have tried to offer those same classes to you this year. Unfortunately, not all the techniques lend themselves to ZOOM so some of the classes cannot be offered until we are able to meet again in person.
Many of the classes will be taught as a half-day class meaning that you can take 2 different classes or, take a class in the morning and carry on working on your project in the Come Quilt with Me room afterwards. Or, just spend the day working on your own project with friends in the Come Quilt with Me room.
For those of you that registered for last year’s event your payment will be carried forward to this year.
Please see the registration form at the end of this Special Edition for all the sign-up information.

Thread Painting with Darlene Price
More and more we see quilting expressed in an “art form” and wonder if that just might be something you would like to try. Well, now is your chance to expand your imagination and skills with Darlene Price. She will be instructing you on technique and guiding your creativity by using thread as your medium! This is a machine class and for intermediate/advanced skill set. An all-inclusive kit ($10.00) is required for this class and will be available for collection from the parking lot of either the day, night or Saturday chapter meetings by arrangement.
Class will run 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Carpenter’s Star with Susan Newsom
The carpenter's star can be configured in several ways. A combination of diamond shapes and squares are traditionally used to assemble this popular patchwork design.
Carpenter's Star quilt blocks can be sewn in an orderly arrangement of fabrics or with randomly chosen fabrics to create a scrap quilt.
Let Susan guide you through the process to create a beautiful, traditional quilt
Class will run 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Sew Scrappy with Noreen Skiles
Do you have bins, baskets, or bags of scraps that you really want to use up but just don’t know how to get started? Noreen will help you with this dilemma by using your fabric and batting scraps to make a quick Quilt-As-You-Go String quilt. She will encourage you to use larger fabric scraps to make the quilt backing, piece those smaller batting scraps, and then use your smaller fabric scraps to string piece a Quilt-As-You-Go block. This is a machine class and perfect for beginners, intermediate and advanced quilters.
Class will run 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Dimensional Dancing Pinwheels with Joy Duke
Learn how to make dimensional pinwheels using a double-sided fusible, buttonhole stitch, stem stitch, and a whipped chain stitch with stem stitching on both sides. Joy will also show ways to mark your quilting design that do not leave any marks behind that need to be removed. Students will need a pattern for the class $10 or a partial kit with the pattern, perle cotton, freezer paper, and Heat’n’Bond Lite for $16 will also be available. Students will need to furnish their own cotton fabrics, buttons and batting. Kits will be available for collection from the parking lot of either the day, night or Saturday chapter meetings by arrangement.
This will be a whole day class
Millie Johnson Presents an “All Star” Quilt
When something appears to be difficult, but is quick & easy, then you have pulled off the magic that lets you produce this fabulous quilt!
You will have a wonderful experience with Millie as she coaches you toward the completion of this quilt top.
Good class for all skill levels.
Class will run 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Applique 3 ways with Pat Carney
Have you ever wanted to learn applique but are not sure where to start ?
A little applique can add so much to a pieced project and applique is portable. You can keep your hands busy working on a small project anywhere you happen to be.
Pat will teach three hand applique methods plus circles and stems. Good basic skills with easy steps to a create a cute project.
Class will run 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Quick Quilt – Diamond Chain With Karin McElvein
If you are like most quilters you will have built a “stash” of fabric. In that stash you probably have these packets of 5” charm squares that you have been saving for that special project, but just haven’t found yet.
Let Karin help you use those 5” Charm Packs to create this marvellous quilt. If you can sew a 1⁄4” seam, then you can piece this quilt top! Free pattern is provided. Good for all skill levels.
Class will run 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Come Quilt with Me
Although we are not able to be in person we will still have a “breakout” room available where you can work on your own projects whilst chatting away with your quilting friends, comparing projects and getting advice and opinions.
