Rediscover Your Ruler: Beyond the Basics

Rediscover Your Rulers: Beyond the Basics

Discover New Designs and Creative Possibilities with the Rulers You Already Own!

You've taken ruler quilting classes, collected some beautiful rulers and learned how to use them. But have you discovered everything your rulers can do?

Join Rita for a fun, creative class where we'll explore new ways to use your quilting rulers and discover designs you may never have considered. Can one ruler create more than one pattern? Absolutely! Sometimes a simple change in positioning, rotation or combination with another ruler can create an entirely different quilting design.

This is a drawing and design class — no sewing machines required! Bring your quilting rulers and spend time experimenting with different shapes, patterns and combinations on paper. Rita will share ideas, demonstrate creative possibilities and bring her own collection of rulers for additional inspiration.

In This Class, You'll Explore:

• Discovering New Possibilities: Find different quilting designs you can create with the rulers you already own.
• One Ruler, Multiple Designs: Explore how rotating, repositioning and repeating a ruler can create entirely new patterns.
• Combining Rulers: Experiment with using different rulers together to create interesting quilting designs.
• Planning Your Quilting: Practice drawing designs to see how they might work in blocks, borders and other areas of your quilt.
• Creative Inspiration: Explore Rita's ruler collection and discover new ideas and techniques.
• Building Confidence: Become more comfortable planning ruler quilting designs before stitching them on your quilt.

What to Bring

Students must bring their own quilting rulers. This class is designed for students who already own rulers and have some experience with ruler quilting.

Bring your rulers, pencils, eraser and paper for drawing and experimenting. Rita will also bring a selection of her own rulers to demonstrate different design possibilities and provide inspiration.

Please Note: This is a drawing and design class, not a hands-on sewing class. You will not need your sewing machine.

Come prepared to experiment, share ideas and discover just how much more your quilting rulers can do!
