Stripology Mixology class

January 30th and 31st 2026

Hello Quilters we have another Stripology Mixology class January 30th and 31st. (Friday and Saturday) You can spend the night or come for the day. This is a two day class and at the end you will be able to use all aspects of the Stripology ruler and have a finished quilt top. We will be using Stripology Mixology Book 3 and specifically the pattern Zoe on page 58. We will be making the Lap size Quilt. If you would like to build a bigger quilt you are welcome to do so.

The project we will be working on is Zoe on page 58.  The pattern suggests that precuts can be used.  However, to fully experience the Stripology ruler, I suggest yardage.  This will give the students more opportunity to increase their comfort level with the ruler.
