Alpha Threads - A Day with
Cathy Wierzbicki
Saturday – July 29 (9- 4)
Nationally-known author of “Coffee-Time Quilts”, and most-recently,
“Twosey-Foursey Quilts”, Cathy Wierzbicki of Snohomish, Washington is
coming to the Calico Hutch to teach her latest pattern “Alpha
Threads”.
All day with Cathy Wierzbicki, treats, beverages and lunch for only
$43 Sign Up Early – Space is limited
Alpha Threads Cathy Wierzbicki’s very latest patterns teach you
amazing free motion lettering using only a zig-zag sewing machine.
Choose to do either version, “Little Star” or “Pajama Prayers”.
Kits are available . Great for all skill levels from experienced
beginner on up.
All-In-One Ruler: Cathy will demonstrate her new All-In-One Ruler
which includes a free table topper pattern.
Painless mitered bindings: Looking for a clever finishing technique?
When you sew on your bindings using this method, the corners of your
quilt are sewn before turning the corners. No need to hand-sew the
tiny corner seams and no lumps in the sides of your bindings. This
technique from Cathy could become your new best friend in quilting.
Treats: Coffee Cake at 8:30 in the morning, noon lunch and Caramel
Latte Cake in the afternoon (recipe from Cathy’s Coffee-Time Quilts
book) Beverages also included.
About Cathy Wierzbicki
Although Cathy has been a dedicated quilter since the mid-1990s, her
favorite pastime of all is spending time at Rabbit Lake in northern
Minnesota with her husband, Tom, their two grown children, and one
very special grandson. Cathy currently makes her home in the Pacific
Northwest. She is the creator of the All In One Ruler.
