Skinny Inset Strips
Jenny Haynes
Our speaker for May, Jenny Haynes, is coming to us from her studio in England. Jenny’s label is Papper Sax Sten (paper, scissors, stone, in her native Swedish). Her bespoke quilts and furnishings are recognized for their clean and simple, mid-century modern design. Jenny mixes rich colors with pastels and is not scared of a color clash, often using her trademark curves together with solid fabrics, while remaining faithful to her Scandi’ roots.
Her 4-hour workshop, Skinny Inset Strips, will begin at 9 am the following day. Jenny will show us how she masters curved piecing and how you can do it, too. Jenny considers this an intermediate technique class. She will focus on teaching us no-pin curves and skinny inset strips. This technique can allow you to add a line drawing effect to your sewing and can be used for precision or improv piecing, check out the photo of a skinny inset along a curve below!
Jenny will help us sew and trim blocks, and then go over many options to make our own versions or add them to different different designs.
Paper templates will be supplied upon class payment but an optional, acrylic template set, may be purchased from her website: pappersaxsten.com/shop/templates/. The prices are 69-79 British pounds. As of this writing the US dollar is $1.33 to the pound. Templates are shipped from the US and shipping is included.
