“Speaky & Pike in the 21st Century”

A workshop with Sharron Armel

Inspired by this ordinary block, often found in 8-pointed stars, we’ll try several techniques that make it easier to do well, and a few arrangements of blocks in new quilt designs.

In class, we’ll launch some Flying Things, and then consider other ways to use this block creatively.

Tools & Notions

60° ruler / Eleanor Burns’ “Triangle in a Square” template set is ideal,
4½”square ruler \ but not the only way to make this work!
straight ruler at least 8” long
rotary cutter

Optional: If you have a small cutting mat, or a small rotating cutting mat, you can cut at your sewing station and save a few trips to the cutting table.

Extras of rulers and small mats will be available for you to borrow in class.

2026 October Guild Meeting: Bloc Loc Rulers and Trunk Show (10/20/2026)

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Bloc Loc Rulers and Trunk Show

With Angie Lamoree

5 Little Monkeys Quilt and Sew

Once upon a time (2005), Angie took her first quilting class just for the heck of it. After all, when you have five kids, you need to get out every once in a while, and just do something for yourself. She was hooked from the first lesson.

One day, Angie had the idea that if she was going to be a quilting addict, she might as well make a business of it, and get others hooked. In April 2017, the little shop on Main Street in Weaverville, NC opened for business. Happily situated in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the suburb of Asheville is a cultural mecca of handcrafters and artists.

Angie believes that quilting/sewing/crafting is a way to transform thoughts and emotions into beautiful, one-of-a-kind handmade items. And when helping those pieces make their way into the world, they believe in providing the highest-quality fabrics, tools, and supplies along with friendly, supportive help…and 5 Little Monkeys prides itself on making sure you have that.
