Are you ready to try some gentle curves? No pinning required. No finding the “center”. No snipping seams. Just cut, sew, and square-up!

We’re going to be stretching our skills a bit as we work on this beautiful Moon Dance pattern, created by Sew Kind of Wonderful.

                                  

 

This pattern requires the use of the mini Quick Curve Ruler, also by Sew Kind of Wonderful. SKW has created more than 30 patterns that use the mini Quick Curve Ruler. Moon Dance Pattern & Mini Quick Curve Ruler will be provided! 🙂

You can make the original Moon Dance Pattern (finishes at 64″ x 80″) or you can choose the smaller version that finishes at 48″x 52″.  Supply list will be sent with registration confirmation. 

These are some of the other possible colour combinations you might use:

                                    

 

 

 

 

 

If you need a change of pace, Clare will be teaching embroidery stitches as we create these lovely needle cases. We’ll start with the original pattern by Lindsay of Diary of a Crafty Lady and Clare will give guidance on how to hand embroider a variety of different stitches.. You can either use solid fabric or a pretty print that you might want to use the embroidery to accentuate the patterns. Patterns will be provided.

 

 

 

 

Mystery Stash Attack is back! 

 

Please bring a large (3.78l) Ziploc bag of your favourite scraps, no larger than 3″ will be fine. We’ll have a special quick project to put those to good use. You can make it entirely from your scraps or share amongst everyone to find delightful combinations.

 

 

 

 

In addition to all this creativity, we’ll have the usual lovely dinners made by someone else (the lovely Miss Kayleigh, Chef Extraordinaire), hot tub, massages onsite by Morzine Massage, Dice Swap with fat quarters, goodies & gadgets in The Craft House shop and more to get your creative juices going.

 

What will you need to bring? A supply list will be provided but mostly, you just need fabric, thread, and your machine. Quilt Fairy Clare & I will be happy to help you in any way we can. Clare will have The Craft House shop onsite as well, with a selection of Aurifil threads, Quilters Dream batting, and a variety of other sewing notions. Anything you need from the mini-mobile shop you you can put it on your Tab, to be settled up onsite at the end of Peaks.

 

 

We also have Suki the Juki, our sit-down longarm, to help you make some progress!  You can rent her by the hour (chf 15/hr), enjoying a large and newly renovated dedicated space to work. I already have a number of bobbins wound in neutral colours but will be happy to show you how to wind something from your thread stash if needed.

Need a bit more encouragement? Your own Secret Sister will be there to cheer you on! You’ll be one too and we’ll have lots of ideas to help you help encourage each other. Part of the fun is the secrecy!

 

 

Other fun for the weekend:

Fat Quarter Dice Swap: This is a fun little game to exchange Fat Quarters. You’ll need to bring three Fat Quarters (18″ x 22″).

Secret Sister: You’ll be assigned another person in the group to be their Secret Sister. The objective is to provide quiet, “secret” encouragement, in the form of very small gifts or notes, throughout the weekend. We’ll provide lots of ideas to get you started. Secret Sisters will be revealed after dinner on Saturday evening.

Machine Servicing: On Thursday, I will be performing Basic Machine servicing (at special Peaks pricing of chf 55) to all who wish to have a little “tune-up” before getting those needles flying!

If there’s anything else you are dying to know, from how to clean your machine  (yes, that little metal bit comes off… 🙂 ) to how to figure out the quilt piecing lingo of a particular project, Clare and I are happy to help.

 

Afternoons are free time. Continue to work on your PhD’s/UFOs/PIGs, start a new project, have a massage, go for a walk. It’s up to you. There’s a hot tub too so be sure to pack your swimming costume! 🙂

Come join us in the Peaks!
