Quilt Wellington Symposium 2009 - Need Lists

Class PNADMO1 NEEDLESTARS© 1 day  $135   Tutor Paula Nadelstern  Kitset: $20.00   Skill Level Advanced beginner, Intermediate to advanced skill levels There is an additional charge of $NZ20.00 to be paid to the tutor for a kit containing the asterisked items below (DO NOT purchase these items) SUPPLIES (* will be in supplied kit) Graph paper with an eight-to-the-inch grid and a bold inch line; one sheet per student will be provided by instructor.   *Sheets of see-thru plastic template material with an eight-to-the-inch grid and a bold inch line. (Do not purchase long sheets in rolled format; they will never obey your will and lie flat.) *A thin 6" x 1" ruler made of clear plastic with accurate one-eighth-inch grid lines Well-sharpened pencils with ample and accessible erasers *Extra fine-point permanent marker. Ex: PILOT7 Extra Fine Point Permanent Marker, SCA-UF *A fine or extra fine silver or light colored gel pen for marking dark fabric. I recommend Silver Sanford Uni-ball Gel Impact Bold 1.0mm and will have these available in class.   Fabric scissors Template/paper scissors: A template scissor should not be the discarded kitchen shears or shaped for a five-year-old's hand. It is the essential, indispensable tool from which all other acts follow. I use OlfasCS-1 multipurpose scissors. Set-up for rotary cutting, including a rotary cutter, ruler and mat. OPTIONAL: Small rotary cutter and Brooklyn Revolver (cutting mat mounted on a lazy susan) Sewing machine with well-defined quarter-inch seam allowance guide  General sewing supplies Ziploc bags to hold templates YARDAGE REQUIREMENTS FABRIC A: 1 yard of bilaterally symmetrical fabric or 16 repeats, with the main motif printed on grain. A motif with bilateral symmetry can be divided into identical halves by a line passing through the center. FABRIC B: ½ yard allover fabric that contrasts sharply with Fabric A.  It is best to audition Fabric B in class so bring a variety of small to medium all-over prints such as painterly batiks that evoke luminosity or translucence, textures, gradations, splattered dots, stuff speckled with gold, skinny stripes, stuff that reads likes it glows from the inside. In other words, if it catches your eye, bring it. BACKGROUND: ½ yard dark-colored, saturated reads-like-a-solid (but isn't) allover fabric. Again, best to bring a few, including a black-on-black and whatever color appears to be the background color of Fabric A.
