September Classes

  • Adjustable Size Jelly Roll Quilt - Full day class; Monday, September 23
    We'll make a 63" x 79" quilt in class, but you'll be able to use this technique to create a quilt of any size on your own. Pattern included. Class is suitable for beginners.
  • Fat Quarter Twist - 2-evening class; Monday September 23 and September 30
    This quilt uses 8 coordinating fat quarters, plus some yardage. Depending on the fat quarter collection you choose, this quilt is suitable for anyone! It finishes at 64″ x 76″, which makes it a great throw/couch quilt size. This is a great beginner quilt. You make the border while sewing the blocks, so it goes together quickly. No special rulers or tools are required. Pattern is provided.
  • Beyond the Basics: Free Motion Quilting with your Domestic Machine - Afternoon, Monday, September 30
    In this class, we'll go "beyond the basics" and learn some new designs and ways to combine multiple designs. Our resource for this class is the book "Doodle Quilting," by Cheryl Malkowski. If you own the book, please bring it. If not, you can purchase it when you sign up for class. We will warm up by quilting a pre-printed quilt top, and then move on to practicing designs from Cheryl's book and learn how to combine designs to effectively quilt any quilt on our domestic machines!
