"Rangeley Runner"
The Projects...
"Tropical Star"
On the cruise, I will teach you how to construct my very first published pattern, "Tropical Star." It utilizes Deb Tucker's Rapid Fire Hunter's Star Petite tool. If you are a rookie to Deb Tucker's tools, please do not be intimated...I will walk you through all the steps to create this one of a kind quilt.
Tropical Star is the "required" project of this cruise. Pattern and tool are not included with the price of the cruise, but can be purchased on my website. A pre-cut kit can be purchased for ease of travel as well.
A fun, sophisticated looking project that is actually quite easy to construct. The crisp star points are achieved using Deb’s Tucker Trimmer 1 tool and an additional trim to turn a complicated looking block into a simple to sew project. This table runner would look fabulous in any variety of fabrics and only uses 4 fabrics.
This will be an optional project, you may choose to work on "Tropical Star" or bring along your own project during class instruction. Kits will also be available for purchase.
Optional Make & Take
ByAnnie's "Piecekeeper"
Have you been curious to try one of Annie's beautiful quilted projects, but have just been to scared to try? This is the perfect opportunity to give Annie's bag making methods a try! I will provide pre-curated kits ready to sew for this quick and easy little project! BONUS....you will have a perfect little bag to take some of your cruise projects home!
This is an optional project and kits will be offered for a small charge. The kit will include everything to construct the project and all ready to go.
