Smith Mountain Morning
Bonnie Hunter, Featured Teacher
Sewing
Machine
Skill Level – Intermediate to Advanced
Smith Mountain Morning is a two-block quilt, with the star block, a 54-40
or Fight variation, in two colorways, and a Chimney and Cornerstones log
cabin variation which is rotated to complete the design between the stars.
This pattern is found in her book Scraps & Shirttails II which may be
purchased from the website at Quiltville.com.
This is a “Book Required” class. Students will learn the use of
specialty rulers for half square triangles using the Easy Angle Ruler,
Quarter Square Triangles using the Companion Angle Ruler, and the Tri
Recs rulers for the tall star points!
Supply List: Regular sewing supplies and machine
Specialty rulers to class:
*Easy Angle Ruler
*Companion Angle Ruler
*Tri Recs Rulers
Fabric requirements:
For the blocks and outer border
3 yards of assorted blue scraps
3 yards of assorted brown scraps
2 yards of unbleached muslin (or background neutrals of choice)
For the inner border
1/2 yard of light blue

Class pre-cutting:
Students CAN come with SOME things cut before hand, but I suggest not cutting the full
quilt in advance. I'll be demoing the easy angle ruler, companion angle ruler, and tri recs.
 If you are going to use these rulers, come with some of the following cut:
 3-1/2" strips of Blue, Brown and Muslin for use with the Tri Recs Rulers and Easy Angle Ruler.
(Star points and corner triangles)
 2" strips of Blue and Brown for use with the easy angle ruler (star center pinwheels) and
companion angle ruler (alternate block center hour glass units)
 1-1/2" strips of muslin for log blocks (Do not cut into squares)
Some students may wish to use a different triangle method, and Bonnie wants to leave that option open to
you--- which is why she doesn't have everyone cut EVERYTHING ahead of time. There is also
streamlining that can be done that the pattern doesn't reflect, for the log cabin
blocks...to discuss in class too.

Bonnie Hunter, Featured Teacher
Sewing
Machine
Skill Level – Beginner to Advanced
Spinning stars and ladder blocks abound in a motion-filled scrap quilt
made completely from 2.5" Squares and 2.5" X 4.5" rectangles!
Students will come to class with fabric shapes pre-cut ahead of time,
ready to sew, share and swap if desired. This is a stress-free fun class
with lots of POW in the finished quilt.
**NOTE** This is a book-required class. The pattern is found in
Bonnie’s book “MORE Adventures with Leaders & Enders.” You must
bring your book with you, no photocopies are allowed due to
copyright issues.
Supply List: Sewing machine and basic supplies

Fabric Requirements:
Background: 4-1/4 yards assorted light/neutral batiks, tone on tone and print scraps
Star Blocks: 2-3/4 yards assorted medium to dark colored batiks, tone on tone and print scraps
Ladder Blocks: 1-1/2 yards brown tone-on-tone
Inner border: 1/2 yard raspberry batik
Outer border: 1-1/2 yards green batik
Binding: 3/4 yard purple batik

Full quilt yardage is given above for your planning, but keep in mind that you likely won’t need
to bring your binding and border fabrics to class. Consider the time you have for class, and
perhaps just bring a bit more than you think you will accomplish in that period of time!
8:00 pm Wednesday Evening Lecture…..
Bonnie Hunter, Featured Teacher
Adventures With Leaders & Enders!
This lecture focuses on quilts made between the lines of sewing other projects! A while back Bonnie found
herself nearly paralyzed by her burgeoning stash and scraps after nearly 30 years of living by the credo: "She who dies
with the most fabric wins!" It was then she turned to her love of antique scrap quilts for inspiration in putting the
rewarding method of sewing Leaders & Enders to work. The Lecture features quilts from her book by the same name,
along with others from her personal collection--starting from very basic simple designs, to more complex ones, inspiring
you on your way to thinking outside the box when it comes to your methods of piecing and using what you have on hand
to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind scrap quilts in between the lines of chain piecing other projects. This is multitasking at
its best!

If you have scraps then this class is for you. This class
instructs you on how to take your scrap bucket, and make
several designs to assist in making the most of those scrap
fabrics. No book is required for this class. However,
please visit the website at Quiltville.com and read further
and print out the section and information for block layout.
Supplies:
 Sewing Machine in good working order, including all cords, presser feet and accessories. Start with a
new needle!
 Rotary cutter with a sharp new blade, thread, scissors, pins, seamripper.
 Rotary Mat and ruler (6 ½”square is great!)
 Easy Angle ruler for 1/2 square triangles
 CHOCOLATE!
Fabric Requirements for Bonnie’s Quilt Layout:
 4 yards light scraps
 4 yards dark scraps
Pre-Workshop: Please Cut Ahead!
 Do cut: Oodles of dark 2 1/2’’squares (I used 504!)
A Gazillion light 2 1/2’’squares (504 is the magic number!)
 Bring 2 ½”strips in lights and in darks for making the half square triangles with the Easy Angle Ruler.
Bonnie will be demoing this ruler in class.
**You can use ANY method for these half square triangles. Just be aware that some methods take more fabric
than others, and you might find you need 3”squares or 3”strips or larger cuts depending on the method you
choose. Plan accordingly.
Featured Teacher Biography – Bonnie Hunter
Bonnie K Hunter is passionate about quilting, focusing mainly on scrap quilts with the simple feeling of “making
do”. She started her love affair with quilting in a home economics class her senior year of high school in 1980. Before quilting
became her full time career, Bonnie was the owner and designer of Needle in a Haystack, creating more than 70 patterns for
dolls and stuffed animals with a country primitive feel.
She has been machine quilting since 1989 and professionally long arm quilting for the public since 1995, retiring in
2009 due to her teaching, traveling and writing schedule. She has been featured in magazines both for her quilt patterns and
articles she has written on scrap management and using that stash to its full potential.
Dedicated to continuing the traditions of quilting, Bonnie enjoys meeting quilters, teaching workshops and lecturing to
guilds all over the world, challenging quilters to think outside the box and find what brings them joy.
When not traveling and teaching, she spends her time piecing scrap quilts, enjoying the peaceful reward of English
paper piecing and hand quilting as much as machine work and loving life in her wooded surroundings in beautiful rural
Wallburg, NC, a suburb of Winston-Salem. She and her husband, Dave are the proud parents of two grown sons, Jason and
Jeffrey.
Bonnie also writes a regular column for Quiltmaker Magazine entitled "Addicted to Scraps" with the main intention to
help you to put various aspects of your own Scrap Users System to good use!

Seascapes
Judy Hobbs
Skill Level – Advanced Beginner
Sewing
Machine
This technique involves using tulle to capture materials to create an underwater
background as well as a sea floor. Eyelash yarn will be used to create seaweed
and your piece will be embellished with shells, tinsel, and any other
embellishments you desire. Once the background is created, you will cover it
with tulle to hold all your embellishments in place. Thread painting and free
motion quilting will then be used to anchor everything in place. The final step
will be to applique a dolphin on top. You should have the top done and be ready
to machine quilt before class is over.
Supply list: A kit will be sold that will contain eyelash yarn to create seaweed,
tinsel (for highlights in the water), shells, and small fish to use for embellishment.
A piece of tulle will also be included.
Fabric:
1. A piece of material 20 X 20 of any light color on which you will place your
water and sea floor pieces. This will be entirely covered so use anything you
might have, just be sure it is a light.
2. Several small pieces of blues (some each of light, medium, and dark) that could
be used to create the water background as well of various shade of brown (from
creams to dark browns) to create the sea floor. Rock materials are good to use in
small pieces.
3. Piece of batting and backing for your project.
Thread: Browns and blues to machine quilt the background (Variegated threads
are good.)
*Fusible webbing (Steam-A-Seam 2 works well)
*Paper and fabric scissors

Have you been wanting to learn how to quilt your own quilts start to finish,
even though you do not have a long arm quilting machine? Students will
learn one method of quilt-as-you-go, piecing and quilting in the same step,
using a Fun & Done! quilt pattern, the StarBox Quilt. After sewing blocks
together, the backing fabric becomes the sashing on the front of the quilt.
Quilts made with the many Fun & Done! patterns can be in varying sizes
from wall hangings, table and bed runners, throws or lap quilts, to bed sized
quilts. Just make as few or as many blocks as you wish. The techniques
learned with this method of quilting can be applied to other quilt patterns and
designs. A pattern and the Batting Buddy acrylic template set are required
and can be purchased on line from www.prairieskyquilting.com or at

Use up those scraps!!!!!
This class will teach you a fun and easy way to use up the
scraps you have but just can’t seem to get rid of. Many
variations will be shown and you can choose which option you
want to make. Paper foundation piecing technique will be
used.
Supply List:
*Light weight paper – something cheap, I like to use old phone
book pages for this. Bring a stack of pages to be cut to size later
*Bring your fabrics – the more the better – cut into strips of 1”
– 2.5 “. A variety of widths make this quilt look more
interesting. If you have fabrics stuck away that you thought you
were going to do a special project with but now it is 3 years
later and it still isn’t done, cut them up and use in this quilt.
*You may want a specific fabric in the middle of each block,
this can be any color print you want. Solids word well as will
as bright small prints or black and white prints. Bring 1 yard .
This is totally optional.
*Washable glue stick
*Sewing machine

Sit and Sew is an opportunity to work on projects without guidance or instruction. Tables and
chairs will be available. Bring any equipment and supplies you need to complete your project
including irons, boards, and extension cords. This environment gives you a chance to get to
know fellow KHQS quilters while making progress on your own projects. It’s also a great time to
work on the project from the class you took the day before (or the year before!)

502-241-5855 [email protected]
Mary has been sewing since she was 10 years old and after a career hiatus started sewing in earnest when she
retired in 1999. Mary spent the first few years filling the closets of her 4 granddaughters but when she learned to quilt in
2003, all other sewing projects took a back seat. After winning “Best of Show” in 2006 at the Kentucky State Fair, she
was encouraged to start teaching. Since then teaching has become a major focus in her life and she really enjoys being

able to give the gift of quilting to others. Mary says she has been fortunate enough to exhibit her quilts locally and at
Berea, Knoxville, Grand Rapids, Paducah, Bloomington, Columbus, Charlotte and Houston. She has received awards
from IHQS, AQS, KHQS, & IQA and recently won a 1st place in Grand Rapids and 3rd place ribbons in Phoenix, Charlotte
and Houston. Mary loves all phases of the quilt-making process and says she has to admit she loves all types of quilts –
rendering her “style-less”.

Lynette Brown
5346 Palisades Drive, Sylvania, OH 43560
567-455-6043 [email protected]
Lynette Brown took up quilting about a year before retiring from her work as a school psychologist in the public
school system. Quilting is a tradition in her family but served mainly to produce warm bed quilts. Lynette had made baby
quilts and a few bed quilts for her daughters but it wasn't until she saw some art quilts at a quilt show that she became
interested in pursuing a less traditional form of quilting. Her interest in fabric dyeing evolved after seeing the wonderful
patterns and textures that could be created through dyeing. Lynette was thrilled to take a class in natural dyes with Elin
Noble where she was introduced to the amazing process of indigo vat dyeing. Now she works primarily with her own
hand dyes to create her art quilts. Lynette says this provides two sources of gratification - one from creating the fabric and
the other from creating the actual quilt!

Directors for nineteen years (as Newsletter Editor, President, Treasurer, and Publicity Chairperson), and continues to
support KHQS by serving on committees and writing occasional articles for the Newsletter. Each winter, she takes the
KHQS Challenge Quilts Traveling Exhibit to area schools and shows and explains the quilts to some two thousand
students over a four- or five-week period. Appropriately, she is known by local schoolchildren as “The Quilt Lady.”

Vicky was inspired by her great aunt who taught her to hand embroider as a teenager and later taught her to hand
piece her first quilt top, Tumbling Blocks, in 1980. After many years of craft sewing, hand embroidery was still her
passion until she discovered and purchased her first sewing and embroidery machine in 1995. In 1997, Vicky started
working full time for the local sewing center. In 1998, she fell in love with foundation piecing and in 1999 she helped
start an area quilt guild. Vicky has been an Event Coordinator since 2003 as well as teaching weekly quilting, sewing and
embroidery classes to individuals and groups. She donates her time teaching quilting and embroidery classes at the Project
Linus National Convention each year since 2007. Since the purchase of her long arm quilter, Vicky no longer lives by the
motto "Once the top is done, the quilt is done".

Her first quilt class was when at age 21. After dabbling in all areas of crafts - embroidery, cross-stitch, tole painting,
knitting and crocheting – She loved making quilts. She started with making traditional quilts by hand piecing and hand
quilting. She usually has 5-6 projects going at once. Most of her quilts now are machine pieced and longarm quilted - but
she always will have a handwork project going too. Since joining KHQS and QAK and attending Getaway, she really
likes making the challenge quilts. Near and dear to her is making charity quilts. She is the Charity Projects coordinator
