Bring whatever you choose to work on. Our goal is to get our UFO’s Done! Linda Hayes will be available to help with advice and technical assistance. Just call the shop and reserve your spot. We can accommodate 8 people. Minimum of 4 students are required for this event to proceed.)
It’s a package deal - come both days and leave your things overnight. We’d like to help you do a little more of what you want to do! Come in and work on those things you need (or desperately want) to get done. Bring any project!
This project is made with Foundation Paper Piecing, and is the perfect
answer to the “What am I going to do with all these scraps?”
dilemma. It might look intimidating, but we promise IT’S NOT!! Linda
will show you how easy it is to trace the New York Beauty Block onto
lightweight paper (making it easy to make as many as you want without
using a copier!). The Flying Geese units are also paper pieced, but they
must be copied on a copy machine. We will provide an Original to each
student so that they can make as many as they want. You will also learn
an especially easy technique for piecing curves. NO FEAR ALLOWED! This
is easy!

Supply list:
Rotary cutter, ruler and mat
Sewing machine, with a 1/4 inch foot (if you have one. Also bring your manual if you have it.)
Cotton Thread 40-50 weight (contrasting color to fabric-so you can see your stitches)
Scissors

#12 needles
Safety pins

*This class requires a special "foot" for your machine. You will need a Darning Foot (open toe works best) for this class. If you need to purchase this foot, please contact Lafayette Crouch of Crouch's Sewing Machine Repair & Sales at 706-366-5579. And be SURE this foot fits your machine to avoid disappointment in class! You also need to know how to "drop your feed dogs" before you come to class!

Skill Builders are just what the name suggests. Each of our 12 beginners 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.
