212S Take a Chance, Sew, and Throw Game Saturday 6th July
Rosemary Perry
Session: 2 x 3hr
Level: Confident Beginner / Intermediate
Workshop Type: Sewing Machine

Rosemary enjoys all forms of quilt making, experimenting with new techniques and aiming for 
excellence in all her work. Her classes are relaxed and unpressurised, where each student is 
encouraged to enjoy the class and to develop their own creative ideas. Her teaching approach is 
gentle, patient and encouraging. She is always so gratified when a student has accomplished a new 
skill, or expresses their appreciation for what they have learnt, in the smiles on their faces.

DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is a fun, block-based workshop/game. The game starts by randomly selecting coloured threads. 
These will determine which blocks must be sewn and the order in which they will be sewn. Once that 
is done, the students will throw a dice and follow the instructions linked to each number on the dice. 
Take a Chance!! You will discover interesting and unexpected shapes appearing. The final part of the 
game will be the design process where students will arrange the components into a pleasing quilt 
top. Then learn how to draft the layout and leave the class with the background fabric labeled with 
the cutting dimensions, making the assembling of the quilt easy. Remember the game is not over till 
the puzzle has been solved.
