Workshop: Melinda Stanton

Lucy Boston English Paper Piecing
Workshop:
We will go more in-depth and hands-on than the program was. I’ll have several fabrics that we will look at to learn how to choose what will work and what won’t. We’ll look at your fabrics and discuss them from a fussy cutting perspective.
We’ll play with the magic mirror and your phone until you choose your very favorite design, and learn to look for designs that are well-suited to this particular design.
You don’t have to have any experience but if you’ve handled a needle it’ll be lots easier. We’ll get some marking, cutting, gluing and stitching done, but you won’t finish the entire block. I’ll teach you some tricks to help you get your fussy cutting just right.
I’ll have a handout with basic information plus online resources you might like to use.

Lucy Boston English Paper Piecing
Lecture:
Melinda will use recorded video and a slide presentation so you can see details up close, and she will also show some Lucy and EPP projects in person. Most information is applicable to any kind of English Paper Piecing, not just Lucy Boston.

We’ll touch on fussy cutting techniques- how to choose and coordinate the best fabrics, looking for the characteristics that make a fabric great for fussy cutting and use in EPP projects.
We’ll see a kaleidoscope of possibilities using a magic mirror and your camera.
I’ll demonstrate how to “Swiss cheese” your fabric, and give you some ideas of how to use those tiny irregular pieces.
I’ll show you the basic 4-4-8-8 Patchwork of the crosses layout and the endless combinations you can get from that simple design!
We’ll discuss different supplies and what I recommend.
I’ll show you my favorite stitch, the Flat Back Stitch.
We’ll look at different settings and other things you can do with a block… or a lot of blocks!
I’ll introduce you to some other EPP obsessions!
