Extreme Piecing

“Extreme Piecing” will be the theme when Julie Brown Neu leads CQC’s April workshop. Julie says with the techniques you’ll add to your tool kit, there will be nothing you can’t sew. You’ll learn to create precise templates from a paper pattern to sew complicated designs plus cutting and sewing tips for extreme accuracy. You’ll decide how many rows you want in your table runner. No matter how many you choose, you’ll master Y seams by the end the day. The workshop will be from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Sunday, April 25 via Zoom.

In her trunk show, “Finding My Voice: My Quilting Journey,” Julie will share what she’s learned in 20 years of quilting from cutting paper templates with scissors to creating original designs and working as a quilt artist. You’ll learn what it took for her to find her way in quilting as you see quilts that have come from her soul. The lecture will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 24 via Zoom.
