Description
Instructor Mike Ellingsen has set a personal goal to design a quilt each year based on an item from the Vesterheim collection. Fyresdal is his choice for 2026, inspired by one of the coverlets in Vesterheim's collection. There is a lot of cutting! A cutting list will be sent out before class so students can arrive and start sewing right away. If you wish, you may change the color palette to customize your quilt.
Prerequisites
Students must be able to sew an accurate 1/4-inch seam (no set-in seams or curved piecing required.)
Supplies
Mike will provide a full pattern for each student, including cutting instructions from either yardage or scraps.
Additional Supplies
Students may supply:
- Other supplies provided by the student include a sewing machine, thread, typical sewing supplies, a rotary cutter, a ruler, a mat, and an iron.
- Optional: A fabric kit will be available for purchase from Red-Roxy Quilt Company in Decorah for those wanting to purchase pre-cut fabric.
