in any combination of fabrics you

accurate seaming, block construction,
quilt assembly, and settings and borders. At the end of class, you’ll have your

Machine Quilting I
Your quilt
top is finally
pieced and
your pattern
ends with
those three
scary words
“quilt as
desired”.
Now what? Take a deep breath, drop
those feed dogs and start machine quilting! In this class, you’ll learn to freemotion quilt some basic designs including curved lines, meandering, echoing,
and loops. We’ll also discuss needles,
threads, batting and tension. Instructor:

No Guilt Quilt
This is a
“No Guilt
Quilt”!!!
All you
need to
make
the
blocks
for this
quilt is
one jelly roll and 1 1/2 yards of background fabric. Very little fabric remains.
There is no waste. It is a very traditional
quilt, but the scrappiness makes it
uniquely yours. This quilt is simple,
scrappy and stunning. The piano key
border perfectly compliments the diversity of the fabric in the quilt blocks. This
is an advanced beginner class. Instructor: Kim N., $54, Monday, January 12,
19, AND February 2, 10-12

paper-piecing or some other skill. Or
maybe our classes just don’t fit in your
schedule. Talk to any one of us and
we’ll find you the right person at the
right time to teach you what you need
to know. $25 per hour per person.
