Hand Piecing - Turkey Tracks - with Martha Keagle
Please review our Class Policies & Etiquette BEFORE signing up for a class. Thank you!
While curved seams and Y-seams, and perfect points are daunting to many machine piecers, they are really quite easy when sewn by hand! Hand Piecing class will cover the basics of hand piecing using a traditional patchwork Turkey Tracks design.
- Straight line piecing
- Curved seam piecing
- Y-seams
The class kit (additional fee of $22.00 to be paid to the instructor at time of class, cash only) will include all needed fabrics, threads, needles, patterns and templates, marking instruments, and a notebook with detailed instructions and illustrations. So that your finished piece will be unique, each kit will have different fabrics, so come early for your best choice.
| Instructor: | Martha Keagle |
| Instructor Bio: | This is the second of three standalone classes on the traditional hand techniques involved in quilt making (needle turn appliqué, hand piecing, and hand quilting). A scientist by training, your instructor taught medical genetics, cancer genetics, and the ethics of human genetics at the University of Connecticut for 26 years ,and was recipient of the first of an annual Outstanding Educators Award given by the Foundation for Genetic Technology and the Association of Genetic Technology. Handwork has been her passion beginning at age 4, and she turned her attention to quilting during the Great Quilt Revival around the time of the American Bicentennial. Now retired, she devotes her time to perfecting her hand work and developing her creativity. She is an award winning, published quilter with decades of experience. Her works have appeared at the Vermont Quilt Festival, The New England Quilt Museum, and the Houston International Quilt Festival, and in national quilt magazines. In her classes you will learn how our fore-mothers made their quilts. No special rulers, seam-rippers, rotary cutters, or sewing machines required. Hand work is eminently portable meaning you can use “found time” (while traveling, in hotel rooms, in waiting rooms, at home in your living room - not shut away in your sewing room, etc.) to create your quilt tops. |
