5 days — Beginner to Intermediate
Triple Play is an exploration of a variety of easy to sew, fun designs team taught by Genie Barnes, Judy Doenias and Diane Rode Schneck. Students will learn techniques such as: Flying Geese, Checkerboards, Log Cabin, Crazy Piecing, fun embellishments and much, much more. All blocks will be sewn using Quilt as You Go methods. The result will be a one-of-a-kind, Stripy Sampler Quilt, that will be pieced and quilted all at once. Your Sampler Quilt can be a small wall quilt, a twin-sized quilt, or anything in between.

Basics: Sewing machine (must have zigzag capability - decorative stitches are
a plus) & extra bobbins
Basic sewing supplies: Pencil, paper, fabric scissors, pins, seam ripper,
needles (machine and hand), thread (neutral grey for piecing), plastic See-Thru
ruler, 1/4" graph paper, rotary cutter (extra blade), mat, (at least 24" on one
side - see Gotta Haves for suggested ruler sizes), flannel for working wall,
extension cord and/or power strip
Gotta Haves:
Thick acrylic rulers: 6" x24", 3" x 18", 6" x 6"
Thread for bobbin (this will appear as quilting on the back of your blocks,
so pick colors that will complement your backing fabric. Thread for sashing
should match sashing.
One package of twin-sized (or larger) thin cotton batting
Fabric:
For back: 6 yds. total, could be one fabric or several that coordinate
For front sashing: 1-1/2" yds.
For back sashing: 1-1/2" yds.
For quilt body: At least one large grocery bag full of scraps, fat quarters
or larger pieces. These can be as scrappy or as coordinated as you like. Go for
as much variety as possible. Novelty fabrics are fun and can enliven any
quilt. More is definitely more! Also please bring 1-1/2 yds. of a striped fabric,
(either patterned or plain)and 1-1/2 yds. of a contrasting or coordinating
fabric, and one fat quarter to go with them.
For experimenting and playing around: You may want to experiment with other
types of fabric: blends, silk, sheers, metallic mesh, other glitzy stuff. Bring
2 yards of muslin and 1 yard of a solid colored fabric, one yard of fine
tulle netting (black or colors) and assorted junk as mixed media inclusions:
scraps of decorative paper, bits of thread or novelty yarn, angelina fibers, etc.)
Embroidery threads for hand embellishment, metallic threads for machine
embroidery
Beads, buttons, sequins, trims, etc.
