1930's Farmer's Wife - Play with Foundation Paper Piecing - Rita Meyerhoff

Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) is a great way to gain precision and consistency in intricate blocks. This class focuses on 6" blocks featured in the 1930's Farmer's Wife book - and although it has patterns for both templates and FPP- Rita will focus on the FPP. The book includes stories about the experiences of your fellow wives, from their letters and diaries. Select reproduction fabrics or any other fabrics to add your own style and personality to your quilt created from any combination of the 99 blocks in the book - and work with Rita and your fellow students to learn the tips and tricks that strengthen your piecing.

2 full day classes - (the first 2) get you started with the tricks of FPP with smaller pieces and combining your colors to get the impact you hope for. Rita walks you through actually making several blocks, with different skills and challenges - so you have skills to make almost any of the 99 in the book. Then 2 more 1/2 day classes help you figure out settings and troubleshooting any problems, so you can continue on to complete your quilt.

RITA's sample (photo) uses only 9 blocks out of the 99 choices in the book and results in a quilt about 45" square. The sky is the limit for the quilt size you want to create.  See the sample in the EDUCATION office - and how differently a different choice of fabrics makes some of the blocks appear.

This class could be completed by a beginner, but is really geared for intermediate piecers.
