Did you ever think you would be able to have that one bag pattern that can carry all those supplies you need for a class? (Except the sewing machine, of course…) You need cutting mats, rotary cutters, square rulers, fussy cutting rulers, loooooong rulers… so much stuff that you end up looking like a pack mule just to get in the door!
We hope to alleviate that with the help of Linda Wagner, who will be teaching her bag class to us on Saturday 6/18/22. This bag can tote rulers that are 24-in! There are outside pockets, inside pockets, and enough room inside for so many items we can’t catalog them here. You know what though… here is what Linda carries in hers, and this is JUST in the POCKETS:
6-1/2 x 24-1/2 ruler
6 x 18 ruler
6-1/2 x 12 ruler
3-1/2 x 12-1/2 ruler
3-1/2 x 18 rule
Strip-off ruler
Blades ruler
Bonnie Hunter Essential Triangle tool
Easy Companion Angle
Point trimmer
Scrapmaster
Corner cutter
Rotary cutter
Tube Ruler
6-1/2 square
4-1/2 square
Etc., etc., etc., plus you can carry your rotary cutting mats
Fee: $40 for VPQG members
As this is an outside teacher we have a minimum requirement for 15 students to make the class “a go.” Sign up before June, as there will be a bit of homework before the class, and Linda will be at the June General meeting tell us all about it. Tell your friends, it will only be an additional $5 for non-members.
***Please note***
Pattern is a separate $10 fee and payable directly to Linda in June.

If you have been on Pinterest or FB in in the past year it is likely you have seen this pattern by Laura Piland of “Slice of Pi Designs.” She is seeing great success – partnered now with FreeSpirit Fabrics for kits with Kaffe Fassett Collective, and also with Missouri Star, who did a tutorial recently. This will be our class for May 2022. This will be a multiple session class. Both sessions are necessary for the class, plus a bit of “homework” beforehand so we can all progress together.
Sessions will be:
May 7th from 12-3pm (AFTER the General meeting)
May 21st from 9am to 3pm
Fee is $15 for members and includes pattern.
BONUS!!!! The pattern size has been adapted for this class and I will be showing it in two sizes: the usual 72×72 or a smaller 45×45. (Jenny Doan can’t give you that…)
