In Person Workshop at LUTHER BURBANK ART & GARDEN CENTER
Friday April 21, 2023 9 AM- 3:30 PM

Twin sisters, Lisa and Lora have been sewing since they were very young. In 1999, Lisa decided to try quilting and with her neighbor Ingrid, began a block of the month program at her local quilt shop. Unknowingly, Lora, living a 1000 miles away, decided to try quilting and began a block of the month program with her friend, Inger. It’s a twin thing. The sisters took to quilting like ducks to water. As artists, it wasn’t long before the girls were making their own patterns and designs. Fast forward to 2012, the sisters began Material Girlfriends Patterns.

Workshop: Trip Around the Sun
Several techniques taught: Applique, paper piecing, traditional piecing.
Trip Around the Sun is a 12-month Block of the Month pattern. The workshop will spend 2 hours on each technique. There are several videos on YouTube to help after the workshop (link below). Techniques are traditional piecing, appliqué, and the apple is a simple paper-piecing. The workshop will most likely, we’ll focus on the Summer quadrant.
Trip Around the Sun pattern will be 50% off for the workshop participants. Trip kits will be available soon online. A coupon code is available so participants can purchase the pattern in advance, plus a discount code if they want a pattern/kit. These will be available on the day of the workshop also, but with the fabric requirements and pre-cutting, most will want their pattern/fabrics ahead of time.
