Lone Star Sparkler with Helen Frost

 

An AQG 2022 Quilt Show Education Event. 

Quilters love the Lone Star! Come join us to make your own diamond dazzler with this great strip-pieced method. Learn precision cutting, pinning, sewing and pressing. You’ll receive a bonus “treat bag” of tools and aids that will help make the steps easier and more accurate. We’ll work on the star points in class followed by demonstrations for painless set-in seams and perfect mitered borders that will help you finish the quilt at home.

9:00 am - 3:00 pm (AZ)

Class: $45

• Helen Frost's Bio:
  

Helen Frost considers herself a traditional quilt maker, preferring to explore the patterns of the past instead of inventing new ones. Her favorites are the Nine Patch, Sunshine & Shadow, and, of course, the Lone Star. These designs are traditional but the construction methods are anything but! She and her mother, Blanche Young, developed ground-breaking strip-piecing techniques for these patterns and more.
Helen is the co-author of several quilt books, including three  based on the Lone Star design. She is proudest of her contributions to the book Grand Endeavors: Vintage Arizona Quilts and Their Makers, the state quilt project book for Arizona. She teaches at quilt guilds and conferences across the country. Helen and her husband live in Tucson, AZ, and are the parents of four children. They were delighted to welcome their first grandson and granddaughter in 2020.
