Urban Runner Workshop

4/15/2025

On Saturday, March 15th, 14 members of our Arnprior & District Quilt Guild gathered to attend the Urban Runners using the Quick Curve Ruler workshop given by Katrina Kahn. The workshop and location, arranged by Lucy Shorey, our program coordinator, was located in the gathering room of the Arnprior library. The room, spacious for 14 people, included tables and bright windows. We all paired up in twos and set ourselves up for learning with Katrina in the center.

Katrina, an experienced quilting teacher, was well prepared with a list of materials needed, including pre-cut instructions for creating the Urban Runner by Sew Kind of Wonderful. She not only knows the pattern really well, but she also is very familiar with the language and writing style of the pattern designer. She was able to guide us through the step-by-step instructions very clearly; one of the most memorable reminders to us was ‘use each sentence like a bullet statement’. The many steps were broken down clearly and understood by all of us. 
 
Using the curved ruler on the precut pieces was our first big task of the class.  Seeing the benefits of the ruler helped us begin to appreciate the multi-use design. It has a beautiful guided curve and allows for some additional “oops” areas. We cut and completed at least four sections of our urban runner under Katrina‘s careful guidance and tutelage, and everybody was very happy with their results. Katrina also brought a number of the quilts that she had used from this pattern and the Sew Kind of Wonderful curved ruler designs, which were extensive in both design and colour. They were an inspiration to us all. We very much appreciated Katrina‘s skills, patience, humour and dedication to creative quilting.
