Our "Creativity"
Block of
the
Month
has
proven
to be
soooo
much
fun! Choose
a border
fabric
and
the
background,
then
pull
scraps
and fat
quarters
from
your
stash or
the shop
that
will
work
with and
compliment
the
border. After
that,
you come
in on
the
last Tuesday
or the
last
Saturday
of each
month.
(If we
do not
have at
least 3
people
on the
Sat.
schedule,
that
class
will
merge
with the
Tuesday
afternoon
class.)
We
boldly
ignore
the
color
placement
used in
the
pattern
and make
our own
decisions,
one at a
time,
working
from the
center
outward.
People
often
say they
aren't
good
with
color,
but they
always
know if
they
like it
or not
when we
choose
the next
color!
We will
not
choose
fabric
for the
sashing
until
the
blocks
have
been
completed.
This way
we will
make a
better
decision
and be
sure we
love the
finished
quilt!

This fun collage is made with a panel and a few fat quarters. It came about after a customer and I discussed how the Elephant design really showed up better on the navy blue background in one of the companion fabrics than it did on the light background of the panel. We couldn’t stop thinking about it, so Brandi & I started playing with bits and pieces of this & that, and came up with a design that we love. Collage is easy. Pre-fuse your fabric with Steam A Seam Lite. Cut out elements, move them around until you love the design and iron in place!

This class is designed to widen your Quilting horizons. Many of us only use the Walking Foot to quilt in the ditch, or to do other straight line quilting. In truth, you can do SO MUCH MORE! We use stencils that were intended for hand quilting, however, we choose those that offer continuous line designs or that are easily done by "Traveling" from one line to another. You will learn how to lock your stitches when you begin and end a line of quilting, how to pull up the bottom thread so the work is tidy on the back, and how to choose a design that can be quilted with a minimum of "turning" the quilt in your domestic machine. How to pre-mark those borders when the stencil doesn't exactly match the length required.
Supply list:
Sewing Machine and manual Walking foot (make sure it fits your machine BEFORE class - Call Sunday Best or Lafayette if you need one!)
A quilt sandwich: a solid color or neutral color fabric 22"x46" long to mark for quilting.
A piece of batting and a backing about 2" wider and longer than the top.
505 spray adhesive
Safety pins
Frixion or water washable marking pen
We will have stencils available in the shop for marking the designs.
Contrasting sewing thread for quilting (so you can SEE your stitches).
We quilt with our regular sewing needles

This class is designed to build confidence. Learn to drop your feed dogs and explore the possibilities of Custom Quilting your projects with Free Motion. We will practice free-form stitching and mark a stencil design onto a quilt sandwich to see how hand quilting stencils can lend a degree of sophistication to your projects.
Supply list:
2 quilt sandwiches - 15” x 22” - light colored solid fabric with batting in between
Safety pins
505 spray adhesive
Contrasting Thread (sewing weight)
#12 Sewing machine needles
Ruler at least 15” long
Frixion Highlighter
Sewing machine (bring your manual)
Darning Foot (open-toe if you have it)

Big Stitch hand quilting is a faster way to get a great different look and still have the fun of finishing your quilt yourself. How often do you get to take a class from the person who LITERALLY wrote the book on Big Stitch Quilting! It is a fun and fast way to finish your project with unexpected pizzazz!
Supply list:
12wt Autifil thread
Pepper Corys sashiko needle set
Bring a quilt sandwich or SBQ can supply a pre-printed panel for $5 that would be perfect to practice on. (If you pick a panel you will still need to bring a backing and batting.)
Batting 505 spray
Thimble
Scissors
Safety Pins
Optional: Thread Conditioner Hera bone (marker)
Skill Builders are just what the name suggests. Each of our 12 classes builds your ability by teaching quilting techniques from beginner to advanced. Mastering each of these construction techniques will enable you to steadily grow your talents and pride of workmanship.
We offer one-on-one individual lessons with a qualified professional quilt teacher. Learn individual skills one at a time or choose a specific project to take from start to finish. Want to learn a specific skill? Contact us and tell us what you want! We'll design a class just for you! Lesson pricing varies based on the skills you wish to learn, the length of each lesson, and the supplies required.
We offer a number of small group classes during the year. Class schedules and class length vary by project. Projects are chosen by the teacher and many classes have been designed based on student requests. So don't be shy - tell us if you have a favorite pattern you want to learn to make! View our list of upcoming classes and sign up soon since our classes fill up very quickly.
