Quilting Class
Eddie Walker has lived in Eastern Oregon and Washington all her life. The mother of 2 grown children and Nana of 3 amazing grandchildren, she treasures her fantastic supportive husband... who thinks she can do anything she sets her mind to.
Her story starts in a familiar vein, wanting to be a stay at home mom...she developed a crafting career that went from dough art to wood carving, that eventually went nation wide. So for a time she was a "Famous Artist" and very collectible. Now an avid quilter, she teaches and develops her own pattern versions for classes. She enjoys the creative nature of quilting and watching quilters expand and grow through quilt making, be it color, design challenges, or just accomplishment of a quilt.
Vintage quilts are a passion, and when you cannot afford antique quilts the next best thing is to make your quilts look old. She aims to achieve an aged look in my new projects, giving them a warm country feel. The best way to make a quilt, simplify the construction, enjoys the process, and take pride the results.
Choose your Path...you can pick
Traditional Drunkards Path
Rob Peter to Pay Paul or Mill Wheel
Polka Dots
Puzzle Boxes
Lots of Possibilities...make your blocks and then pick your setting.
This is my own spin on making the traditional Drunkards Path Block and Variation on that block. The process makes it much easier to cut and to plan. We will be working with larger pieces, the curved piecing is quickly mastered, giving you a confidence level to complete a wonderful quilt. So if this a quilt you have always want to make, now is the time.
For a scrappy version you will want to start collecting fat quarters.
For a two color quilt (large) you will need approximately 5 yard of each color.
No pattern or templates required.
Three quilts exhibited by Eddie Walker at the 2009 quilt show featuring, in order, "Six into Nine" and then two quilts made with leftovers from the first project. Four quilts were made with the same beginning fabric selections, each one with leftovers from the previous quilt, until all the fabric was used. Eddie's innovative and fun approach to quilting are evident in projects such as these.
