About the Educator:
Our Educator will be Helen Frost – C&T Publishing
Helen Frost cannot even begin to estimate how many quilts she has made or how many quiltmaking students she has taught. She began quilting in 1972 and figures she has made hundreds of quilts. Beginning with Adult Education classes, then classes at shops, guilds, and conferences, she calculates that her students number in the thousands.
Helen is the co-author of eleven books on quilting, three of them featuring the Lone Star design. She is proudest of her contribution to Grand Endeavors: Vintage Arizona Quilts and Their Makers, the award-winning state quilt project publication. She is the innovator of easier and more efficient techniques for traditional quilt patterns such as Nine Patch, Sunshine & Shadow, and of course, the Lone Star.
Helen and her husband live in Tucson, Arizona, and are the parents of four grown children.
About the Project:
Have a party while making a diamond dazzler! Learn an innovative strip-piecing technique as you learn easier and more accurate cutting, some tricks for perfect seams, and the secrets of precision pinning. Helen will show that set-in seams can be easy-breezy and that mitered borders are sew simple! We’ll also explore the importance of color and value as we sew this sparkling star variation.
As a bonus, Helen will share her Beautiful Bindings techniques for award-winning bindings.
