Quilting
MARINER’S  COMPASS
(Ann Lainhart)

These instructions are for a 12” 16 point split-point compass. The Mariner’s Compass is not a block for beginning quilters. It requires accurate cutting and piecing and your first attempt may not lay flat, but it is such a beautiful block that it is worth the effort.

Supplies for drafting the compass:

Drawing paper at least 14” square
Mechanical pencil or several very sharp pencils
Protractor – should be one at least 5” or 6” in diameter
Compass
12” ruler – one where the edge is on the paper, an ordinary ruler or a drafting ruler. Do not try to use an 1/8” thick quilter’s ruler; the thickness may throw off the accruacy of your drafted compass
Thick template plastic – if possible with a grid – do not try to use the kind that comes rolled up
Ultra-fine Sharpie pen – I find these are the best for marking on the template plastic
Masking tape

Supplies for piecing the compass:

½ yard each of a medium and a dark fabric for the compass points
½ yard light background fabric; cut it along the fold, so you have a fat quarter to cut pieces from and a fat quarter for the square into which the compass will be set
Thread to match the medium fabric and to match the background fabric
Basic sewing supplies
Sewing machine
Rotary cutter, mat, and ruler

Students should plan to bring lunch or $

Large Pad Recycled Sketch
Large Pad of tracing Paper
these should be the same size

Set of Colored Pencils (as many colors as possible, not necessary to spend lots of $)
Set of Graphite
Kneaded Eraser

Bring digital camera and tripod

Oil or Acrylic, Cad. Yellow Light, Yellow Ochre, Cad. Red Light, Alizarin, Viridian Green, Ultramarine Blue and a large tube of Titanium White, Medium, Portable Easel, Palette, Paper towels and a few small Canvas up to11x14 other supplies and colors people already have will be fine.

Bring oil pastels if you have them (any  brand).

Canson MiTientes paper or your preferred surface.

I will bring my pastels which you can try out, but if you want to get some Craypas Expressionist to have on hand that would be fine. I'll also bring some smaller pieces of the more expensive brands of paper.

A medium size bristle brush, paper tortillions, and a light color prismacolor pencil.

Watercolor paper: 140lb. cold press paper. I prefer working on Arches, quarter-sheet size 15 x 11 or larger. Use whatever kind you prefer, but a quality brand is recommended.

Sketchbook: For planning paintings, sketches and taking notes. Please write your name and address inside, in case it's misplaced.

Paints: Tube paints in any size, Divinci, American Journey or Winsor Newton are good brands, but any brand will do. Alizarin crimson, cadmium red, french ultramarine, antwerp or winsor blue, new gamboge, raw sienna and burnt sienna. Optional colors; cadmium orange, winsor red, cobalt blue and violet or your choice.

Palette: A palette with deep wells and a cover to keep paint moist is best. My favorites are the Pike andCheap Joe’s palette.

Brushes: Quality not Quantity! To start, have a 1" flat, 1/2" flat, #8 or #10 round. Optional; old tooth brush, bristle fan brush, #4 rigger, 2" flat. Robert Simmons brand are good brushes at a modest price, build your supply as you can afford them.

Odds & ends: Water bucket, tracing paper, graphite paper, tissue or paper towels, small natural sponge, single edge razor blade or old credit cards, salt, ruler, soft leaded pencils (3-9B), kneaded eraser, masking fluids, spray bottle and pieces of plastic wrap.
