"Modern Pineapple" Class Information Taught By: Brian McCoy (Bolts and Quarters Quilt Shop owner) The fall WVQI meeting will be held on Saturday Sept. 18, 2021 @ Bolts and Quarters Quilt Shop in Parkersburg WV located at 2595 Dupont Road East. There will be a class offered at the shop from 9:30 am – 12:30 called “Modern Pineapple” taught by shop owner Brian McCoy. The blocks are 9 1/2" square, and made with 5 fabrics. These blocks can be made with any number of fabrics, and any size (see picture on right). It's more about the technique/process sequence of putting it together that is the same. So as far as fabric requirements, it's just 5 (or scrappy) fabrics to make at least one block. If you want to make a bigger project, you'll, of course, want to have more of each fabric. Just as a guess, at least 2 yards of each for a throw. Supplies needed: *Required:
Reynolds Sharpening will also be available. Don will sharpen rotary blades, scissors, knives etc. Please bring items in a plastic bag labeled with name & contact info. Bring items that day or may be dropped off before Sat. and he'll start on those first thing. Call the shop if you have further questions. Class will be followed by a short lunch break. Lunch will not be provided but there are various restaurants with in a short drive. Meeting will begin at 1:30pm. WVQI business will be conducted first including election of President, Treasurer, and Membership Secretary. If anyone is interested in running for any of these positions contact Barb Green 304-614-5452 or barb.wvquiltersinc@gmail.com. After elections are completed we will be having a lecture/machine show by Brenda Wentzel. Brenda is a local quilter who is also an avid antique and toy sewing machine collector. She has collected and refurbished hundreds of machines and will be bringing some of her most interesting pieces. I've seen some of her collection and they are very interesting and really cute! I hope many of you will come to the meeting and also enjoy shopping at Bolts and Quarters. They will be having many special things happening the whole weekend since its Customer Appreciation Weekend! Hope to see you there! Sue Papouschek WVQI Vice President |
