Event and Class Calendar

Make beautiful quilts and other projects using scrap material and the patterns from the "Use Scraps, Make Blocks, Make 100 Quilts" book by Stuart Hillard for Sterling Publishing.

Get exclusive ruler kits and tutorials delivered straight to Birdsong Quilting. The HQ Ruler of the Month Club is a great opportunity to challenge your quilting skills and build ruler work confidence. Each month in the six-month series features a debut acrylic ruler (available to club members only). We will meet on the second Thursday of each month to view exclusive video tutorials and practice on one of the shop Handi Quilter machines. These rulers will work on your domestic sewing machines with the appropriate ruler foot for your specific brand of machine. We welcome all skill levels of participants. If you would like a private lesson on the basics of operating a long arm machine, machine maintenance and how to choose your thread we offer these separately. We also rent our long arm machines if you would like to practice using the machine and finish a quilt at the same time. When renting the machine you will have the option to do a free motion design or a computerized edge to edge design. The HQ Ruler club renews yearly in the early fall, and this will be our inaugural year. We will have time to finish debuting the 2019-2020 rulers before Handi Quilter rolls out the next collection of ROMC (Ruler of the Month Club). Over the course of the year we will also make time to work on other features of the long arm machine and pro-stitcher programs.

This project is built around a collection designed by Grace Popp for Studio E Fabrics. Beautiful use of charcoals, golds and black. Finished project is 48 X 60.
