Creative Grids® Designer
Deb Heatherly
“Scrap-tastic”
Saturday, September 6, 2025
FULL DAY ZOOM – 6-hour Program (10AM-5PM)
Class Description:
In this class you will learn to use the Creative Grids® Cat’s Cradle tool CGRDH1 (not CGRDH1XL), use up some scraps, and learn tips and tricks for adding folded corners. Deb will also talk about how she cut large setting triangles, and how to make them “fancy” like the ones used in this quilt. At the end of class, she’ll also give you a few tips for making scrappy binding if you wish to do so for this quilt.
This pattern is a great scrap buster. She literally used scraps from 4 different quilts just sitting in her scrap bin. The quilt contains 2 blocks that seem to intertwine giving this quilt great visual interest no matter what type fabric you use.
Pull out your scrap bag and let’s make something awesome together!
Cost: $65-Member OR $75-Non-Member
A limited number of the required Creative Grids® Cat’s Cradle tool CGRDH1 are available at a VCQ member group discount. Rulers retail for $23.99 plus shipping, but you can purchase with your registration for $25.00 (includes shipping).

In this class we will be making a spiral bargello using strip sets and cutting with the 10-degree wedge ruler. Finished project measures 42” in diameter.
Workshop B: Hawaiian Needle-Turn Applique
Hand Class
Cheryl See – cseesquilts@aol.com
In this Full-Day workshop students will work on a pattern inspired by Cheryl’s quilt, Hawaiian Improv which won Best of Show at the 2017 Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. Students will learn a different technique than the traditional fold and cut method for a more detailed Hawaiian style quilt. Needle-Turn applique is used to start an innovative Hawaiian style pattern, Small Town, from A Walk in the Park Pattern series. Hand embroidery stitches will be taught and used to embellish the project.
Workshop C: Quilt As You Go – Machine Class
Barbara Tinder – btgoodlife@gmail.com
If you have ever wondered about how to quilt your own projects but felt unsure about where to start, this class is designed for you. We will explore and create samples using several different techniques, giving you a clear understanding of your available options for quilting as you go, including how to attach quilted blocks to each other!
Workshop D: Come Quilt with Me
Bring your own hand or machine project or work on ALS Charity Quilt kits as you sit and quilt with other members and experience wonderful fellowship.
