Back🏠Home x 4

Four of us took the all-day class, "Master Your Stripology Rulers" course at GE Designs in Chaska, Minnesota on October 14th!!! It was taught by 2 Stripology certified teachers, with cameo appearances from Gudrun, designer and author of the Stripology rulers and books. 

The class progressed very methodically from the beginning of her new book, Master Your Stripology Ruler, through to the end. We cut many different shapes and sewed samples along the way, and finished by working on one of the projects in the book, Back Home, involving the Stripology method of making flying geese. Pictured above are the four quilts we started in class, with details to follow, listed in the order I quilted them.
