Repro Hexi Club and Scrap Share
Starts in January 2025
Hosted by Sheila
I’m looking for eight inspired stitchers to sit with me twice a month to create this heirloom quilt.
The club meets twice a month for 12 months. Dates starting in January 2025
Reproductions are finally trending again, and we are SEW EXCITED! For many years, the world has been a modern quilt world, but our Traditional shop has managed to hang on to the trend, waiting for the news that Reproduction quilting is on the upswing. From only two to four new repro lines each year for nearly five years to over ten this year, we are ready!
This club will focus on using your Repro Scraps to create heirloom quilts. The first will be a Hexi quilt. With all the rage on Hexi’s, I couldn’t find a quilt online that inspired me until I saw the one shown here. I fell instantly in love with this quilt and decided to try my hand at handwork.
We’ve run similar programs like this at the Meeting House, Lucy Boston, for one. It’s a long process when you sit and stitch by hand, but one that brings such joy. Ultimately, you have a quilt or project that sings on a higher note. One to be very proud of. And what better plan than to sit and stitch amongst friends?
SEW, I set out to design and write a pattern for a repro hexi quilt. The blocks will finish at 5” and, depending on the quilt size you choose, should be easily completed in 12 months.
The club will include our new Repro Fabric Share. At each meeting, the Meeting House will dig into our scraps, pull reproduction fabrics from our stash, and offer them free during our meeting. Although it is not required, we would love it if you grabbed from your stash to share as well. Pieces at least 3X3 are needed to make each Hexi, and 7 Hexis are required to complete the block. The backgrounds are also scrappy and require a 6” square scrap. Don’t you just love the scrappy backgrounds? SEW REPRO!
I can’t wait to make my first Hexi and I’m even more excited for the inspiration each member brings. As a shop owner, quilting has been challenging since the beginning. Never having the time to sit and sew. Many of us have met the same challenge. Here is the opportunity twice a month to sit and stitch without lugging your machines in a warm, inviting environment among fellow stitchers. Please join me, and let’s get this club rolling!
This is a year-long commitment. Seating is limited to 8, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Register today!
We offer a 15% discount on all supplies for this club as well as a club discount of 15% on the day of class on your entire purchase.
