SUMMARY:Workshop:  Strip Pieced Mariner's Compass Basics with Robin Ruth
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wanted to make a Mariner’s Compass block but were too intimidated?  Not a fan of paper piecing or using tedious templates?  You’ll love this class for learning how to make 16-point compass blocks in 16 different sizes using Robin’s design rulers and strip-piecing method. \nIn this workshop\, Robin will give a detailed overview of the modern technique and projects using her system of rulers\, books\, and patterns for Strip Pieced Mariner’s Compass blocks and variations.  You’ll learn all the basics for making either a Skinny Robin or Fat Robin Mariner’s Compass block.  She brings the Mariner’s Compass block into the 21st century with her modern technique.  She will also show us projects and different ways for you to create your own modern mariner’s compass project.  You’ll be making one of the blocks featured above\, but here’s a sample of what you can create once you learn the basics!  You’ll be amazed at the variety of projects that can be created!\nSkill level:  Intermediate\nAlso note this class will be held at Quilting for Community in Chatsworth and Robin will have her rulers available for sale. \n        \n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture:  Robin Ruth\, "Modern Mariner's Compass\, Strip Pieced!"
DESCRIPTION:Robin Ruth is a celebrated quilter and author known for her expertise in creating Mariner’s Compass quilts without paper piecing.  Her revolutionary approach to this traditional block has inspired many quilters to explore new techniques and push the boundaries of their craft.  Through her books and workshops\, Robin shares her knowledge and passion for quilting\, helping others to achieve precision and accuracy in their own projects. \nHer interest in Mariner Compasses began in 1992 when her husband became a Naval Officer in Pearl Harbor\, Hawaii.  She wanted to celebrate with a Mariner Compass quilt and discovered a better way than paper piecing.  Her approach to the famously complicated compass block is surprisingly simple.  But also\, her unique aesthetic sing bright fabrics (Including Kaffe Fasset fabric lines) yield novel and unique quilts. \nRobin Ruth’s quilts are a testament to her skill and dedication to her craft.  Her Mariner’s Compass designs are particularly renowned for their intricate detail and precision.  She recently was the featured quilter at the 2025 Washington State Quilters Quilt Show and was featured in the December 1029 Love of Quilting magazine.  Robin continues to inspire and educate quilters of all levels\, encouraging creativity and innovation in their work and offering fresh perspectives on traditional techniques. \n\n\n\n\n
