COMING IN SEPTEMBER:
Square Peg is Your Square in a Square™ Expert!
Peg Oppenheimer is the lecturer and workshop teacher for September 13 and 14, 2010. Peg was a popular vender at the Spring Shower of quilts XIII quilt show in March. She will lecture on the Square in a Square Ruler and usage at the first meeting of the new season on September 13, 2010 at the Calvary Church in Trumbull, CT. Peg will teach a workshop on September 14, 2010 at the Monroe Library, Monroe.
Square in a Square™ is ideal for quilters at all levels. Beginners and advanced users will all benefit from this time saving technique.
Peg Oppenheimer has been quilting since 1999. Once she learned Jodi Barrows’ Square in a Square™ method she became hooked! She became a Certified Square in a Square™ instructor in 2001. Jodi Barrows personally trained and taught Peg her revolutionary method of quilting. Part of being certified means traveling to Texas to meet with Jodi once a year, so Peg is always in the know about the latest developments and innovations.
Peg has since also completed her certification for Creative Curves and Jodi Barrows’ new Diamond options. Peg teaches regularly in the Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse areas and throughout Western and Central New York State. Peg loves teaching at shops and quilt guild meetings. No venue is too big or too small!
Jodi Barrows’ Square in a Square™ method is a revolutionary quilting technique that allows quilters to create beautiful quilts - without cutting messy, painstaking triangles! Get perfect corners and consistent results without going blind at the cutting table.
By using special rulers and a little know-how, Square in a Square™ quilters breeze through some of the most intricate geometric patterns. There are eight idea-packed books to choose from, so a quilter will have a hard time running out of ways to use these fun techniques. Square in a Square™ techniques will save you time and effort in almost any project you tackle. They are versatile and easy. Once you learn this method, you will wish you had learned it years ago.
