Instructor: Robin Long
Robin is an internationally known quilt teacher and gives classes all across the country. She also is a sought after quilt designer for fabric companies such as FreeSpirit, Windham, and Clothworks. Her quilts have been in many shows including International Quilt Festival, QuiltCon, and Road to California. What started as a quest to make a Mariner’s Compass quilt for her submarine officer husband, Robin took an idea she had in 1992 and launched Robin Ruth Design in 2015. She has developed a line of revolutionary rulers, books, patterns, and technique for making STRIP PIECED mariner’s compass blocks and projects.

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 Ruth Design’s rulers and strip-piecing method!  Join Robin and learn all the compass basics for making either a Skinny Robin or Fat Robin mariner’s compass block. 

Once you learn how to use Robin's rulers and strip-piecing technique, you will be free to move on to one of the many patterns and projects made using this ruler system!
