Ocean Waves Quilt Camp

The Perfect Get Away!
October 25-28, 2007

This is the Sixteenth Annual Ocean Waves Quilt Camp. Our camp has been a great success in the past and we expect that this year will be the very best ever!

Twin Rocks Friends Camp offers the perfect location for a get away weekend. The ocean and Spring Lake area short walk away, great for stretching your legs and getting a breath of fresh air. Our rooms and classrooms are in Hadley Hall, Arts & Crafts, Meeting House and Macy Chapel. We will also have sleeping facilities in Chinook, Willamette, Chehalem, WyEast and Cammack Cabins. We can house 4-8 quilters per room. Perfect for your quilt group. The classrooms are sunny and spacious. The dining area is most accommodating and the food is incredible. We will provide you with food, fun, food, fabric, food, festivities, food, great classes, food, friends, food, and great teachers. Ifyou have never attended camp you will soon find that food is our number one priority at camp.

Registration will start at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 25th.

Classes will start after lunch on Thursday, October 25th at 1:00p.m.

You will enjoy three days of quilting fun and return home exhausted. Continental Breakfast will be served on Sunday, the 29th. We have some outstanding teachers lined up. In fact, many are returning from previous years. You don't want to be left out so sign up early, as class size will be limited. We are including pictures of most of the classes being offered.  Hopefully, it will assit you when making your class selections. If there are fewer than 8 signed up for a class we may have to cancel it. I am looking forward to seeing you at camp!

Thursday Classes

Sweet Briar Patch - Linda Ballard

Linda will be presenting a new pattern that was just introduced this spring. It has a contemporary look to it, but in all reality, it's quite traditional. She's used bright bold and fun colors, but she assures us that a softer palette would work as well. This is a great quilt, don't be left out! Several sizes are available.

Dresden Star - Ronda Byer

This is a pattern from "Laundry Basket Quilts". This incredible technique will open the door to endless opportunities for creating one of the most difficult points and create a wonderful quilt no matter what your fabric selection. This quilt is 51" X 68".

Backyard Beauties Design Class - June Jaeger
This is a three day workshop. Using the "New York Beauty" block as our focus, you will create your own landscape. "Radiant New York Beauties" by Valori Wells will be our book of inspiration. In class you will learn to draft your own beauty blocks, as well as paper piecing, curved piecing, perfect piecing, and a variety of appliqué methods. There is no limit on what you can draft. In this three day workshop you will have time to design as well as sew that landscape memory. Bring pictures for inspiration and to personalize your one of a kind landscape.

Pine Burr - Peggy Gelbrich

Originating in early 1900 the Pine Burr block is easier to make today using paper piecing to make the burrs. We'll use a freezer paper method leaving no paper to tear away. There is a gentle curve to add the feathered burrs to the center and a set in diamond shape to finish the block. Get a start on a beautiful quilt or give it a try making three blocks for a table runner. This is a two day class.

Sunset Serenade - Goldie Olson

Also known as Mexican Star. This is a unique wallhanging where you use straight seam piecing that gives you a curved effect. It is possible that the top could be completed in class.

Broken Glass - Kennette Blotzer

This is a strip quilt pattern form "Laundry Basket Quilts". This quilt measures 80" X 80" but could be enlarged. Strong contrasting fabrics are important when making this design.

Dancing With Pinwheels - Lee Fowler

This quilt uses a simple block made of squares and triangles. But turn the blocks this way and that and you get a secondary pattern of "Dancing Pinwheels". Fabric selection is very important in this subtle quilt. Spend a day sewing and watch this quilt come to life.

Collage Vest - Victoria Jones

Create a great vest using easy collage technique to embellish it. I learned this technique from award winning designer Kayla Kennington. My sample is made using a focus fabric on one side in the front and taking the colors of that fabric to pick fabrics to create the collage techniques for the other side of the front as well as a strip across the yoke of the vest back. Yarns and Glitz may be used to further embellish the vest.

Friday Classes

Serendipity - Linda Ballard

A fairly new pattern; you'll find it fun and fairly easy to piece. I designed this one as my "own round robin". This quilt has a great look to it, and the border may look hard but it's really an easy one; you'll be surprised at how it's completed.

Star Gazing - Goldie Olson

Perfect points are easy to obtain in this wallhanging with freezer paper foundation piecing method. There is no paper pieces to tear out or the small stitch length sewing as in regular paper piecing.

Country Life - Linda Peck

This is a very traditional style quilt with a wonderful secondary design where the blocks come together. Rotary cutting and traditional piecing make this a fun and easy quilt.

Encapsulated - Lee Fowler

If you are looking for the perfect quilt for your favorite collection of large prints, then this thoroughly modern quilt is the answer. You will learn two construction techniques in the class that you can easily apply to other projects. We will talk about coherent fabric collections, good color combinations and the power of solids. Come and learn to construct this simple and effective design.

Saturday Classes

Jacob's Snails - Peggy Gelbrich

This quilt was published in the September '06 Quilter's Newsletter. The snail trail blocks are paper pieced with freezer paper then quick piecing methods for the Jacob's Ladder blocks. There are some fun design options so not everyone's quilt will look the same.

Bargello - Goldie Olson

For those that wanted to make a bed size bargello here is your chance. It is designed by the same designer as the Twisted Bargello. Size is 85" X 99" without borders so you will have size options.

Folk Art Stars - Linda Peck

Learn to draft and piece these fun folk-art stars. The pattern for the sample will be given in class or you can design your own with any size blocks. Freezer paper templates make the blocks easy to piece.

Rug Hooking - Kennette Blotzer

Learn to punch wool yarn using the Oxford Punch Needle while creating a useable chair pad. Kennette will have kits to purchase so this class will have no pre-cutting and you will complete your project in class. Different patterns to choose from or create your own. Become a hooker for a day!

Round Division II - Lee Fowler

Ready to try curved piecing? Then this quilt is the perfect place to start. With its simple blocks and dynamic sashing, this quilt is a great place to showcase large prints or a favorite collection. Simply a must see, must make quilt.

It's a Wrap - Victoria Jones

Wrap, wind, and sew a new basket for your home! You'll wrap fabric strips around cord, coil into desired shape, and secure with machine stitching. What could be easier? This technique will also lend itself to creating bowls, purses and more.

Tumbling Stars - Pearl Herkamp

This quilt actually goes together much easier than it looks. Make it as scrappy or formal as you wish. Using the 60 degree triangle ruler the cutting goes quick and accurately. No "Y" seams!@ Looks great in patriotic, civil war, batiks, 30's reproductions as well as Christmas fabrics.
