Quilting
Classes…
All
Squared Up Quilt: Create this fun easy quilt using batiks
or make your own fabric choice. The pattern shows five different size quilts
and the quilt blocks can be ‘scrappy’ or coordinated.
Beginning
Patchwork: Step into the world of quilting with this
wonderful introductory class. Create a wall hanging while learning to piece by
machine. You will learn many tricks of the trade that will make even your first
project look good! This class is geared for the beginner who wants to try patchwork
piecing or for those who have tried it on their own and been dissatisfied with
the final result.
Complete this class by doing some basic machine
quilting.
Fabrics are pre-kitted for this class.
Celebrate Runner: No matter the season or
event this eight sided centerpiece is a great way to show off a large print or
even theme blocks. There are two sizes to choose from and endless possibilities
with fabric choices.
Crazy Curves Runner: This runner used
templates, but they work so well and make curved piecing a breeze. We hope the
technique will lead to endless inspiration and you’ll be saying “bring on the
curve”.
Crossroads Quilt: Try making this quilt
from batik fabric or blend batiks and non-batiks. You’ll be impressed with the
final results of this quilt that has a ‘trip around the world’ look. However,
it doesn’t use that technique, as all the pieces are not the same size.
Instead, a variety of rectangle sizes are used, as well as squares.
Use
the pattern to make a crib, lap or bed-size quilt.
Folk Art Flowers Quilt: This is a lovely quilt
that uses a fun ‘sorting, cutting and piecing’ technique to create flower
blocks. It will make you wish it was summertime already. Once you have become
familiar with this technique you may want to use it to piece more than flowers.
HELP!!
How To Quilt A Large Quilt On A Household Sewing Machine: Have
you quilted on small projects, perhaps even taken a Machine Quilting ‘101’ to
learn the basics of machine quilting but feel you have no idea what to do with
a large quilt?
A prerequisite is to have the basic machine
quilting knowledge, as this is not a beginning class. Come into the store and
show us your pre-pinned quilt prior to class day and you’ll be properly
prepared.
In class you will watch a demonstration on how
to maneuver a large quilt. There will be a discussion period to cover ideas of
what to quilt on the project.
You will then be ready to begin quilting your
project with personal feedback from our instructor Linda. The class will be
limited to 4 students.
Happy
Hollow Creations: If you are looking for something fun and
different to do why not join us and create a seasonal wall hanging. These are
wall hangings that are shaped like a Jack-o-Lantern, Snowman or Santa. They
have fun embellishment kits available and are sure to get you in the holiday
spirit.
Machine
Quilting “101”: Learn techniques to get those quilt tops
off the shelves and into use in a fraction of the time of hand quilting. You
will experiment with straight and curved line stencils. Try your hand at free
motion quilting including the ever popular stippling method using your own
machine. You too can have the satisfaction of telling everyone, “I did the
whole quilt myself.” The required kit includes
fabric, batting, stencils, fabric marker and safety pins.
Quick Cozy Couch Quilt: A great project for the
beautiful flannel fabrics that are available. Simply choose a theme fabric and
two coordinating ‘solid look’ fabrics and you are on your way. The end result
is a warm cozy quilt that you will love to use yourself or give as a gift.
Seasonal
Mini Quilts: Have you wanted to learn how to paper piece? We
have just the project with four seasonal mini quilts. The first is our summer
project and you’ll be delighted to have a project that uses a technique that
makes tiny piecing a breeze.
Serenity
Table Runner: If you would like to make a runner that is a
little more challenging this may be what you need. The runner can be made using
two or three different fabrics and will present that little spark of challenge
to keep your creative juices flowing.
Star
Light, Star Bright Runner: Three stars form the focus of this
attractive runner. It is constructed with simple diagonal piecing and is a
great way to use small panel blocks.
Sweetly
Simple Runner: This runner could provide the incentive
to use stripped fabric in a very innovative way and create an easy runner in very little time. Let the fabric do
the work and get you all kinds of compliments.
Table
Wear Runner: Dress your table with style, with this lovely
new runner. If you have a large table, consider choosing this runner to top it
off.
Weathervane
Runner: This delightful runner is forty six inches long
and fun to use no matter what the weather. There are two different blocks in
the runner, neither one is difficult. Our sample uses modern colors that are
bright and cheery and I think Christmas fabrics would be fun, also.
