Jennifer Metzger from Gaylord, MI will be sharing a lecture and trunk show. She is the owner of Compass Star Quilt Shop (formerly Delphine's) in Gaylord.

This trunk show will reveal my personal evolution of my quilting journey. I began my quilting hobby somewhere in the year 2000. I attended my first shop hop in 2003 and collected 12 patterns for 12 blocks designed with Thangles. After moving to Idaho and starting our family, I received the best Mother's Day present.... a beginning quilt class. Since 2007, I've been piecing and quilting, learning about as many techniques as I can! The quilts I have to show will demonstrate where I started, where I've taken a few curves in my path, and where I am today!

Pineapple Piecing Workshop: This foundation piecing method has no special ruler required and uses the "top piecing method" which requires no flipping and sewing. You still have super accurate blocks, just like other foundation piecing methods, but this technique is much simpler! Learn the basics and pick up time-saving tips on making easy pineapple blocks with the top piecing method. A great way to use up scraps and strips from your stash! Pineapple Piecing workshop is being offered early on the 25th at St. Peter's Lutheran Church. Contact Lisa Brininstool to sign up.
