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

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!

Repairing an old quilt is a labor of love. It can be quite time consuming, but when done well, the repairs are almost invisible. Linda will show you how to cover worn patches that are torn or shredded, how to stabilize patches that are only slightly worn to prevent further damage, and how to replicate the original quilting once the repairs have been completed. We will be practicing on pieces of well worn quilt and there will be a small supply kit for you to use during class. (The kit is included in the class fee.)
Supply list: The quilt you plan to repair, straight pins, safety pins, and a thimble. If you don’t have a thimble, we will find one to fit from the shop.

Each year I try to choose a quilt that is different from
the year before.
This year’s quilt is no
exception.
The “sampler” quilt that we
will be making this year is a
medallion quilt.
It was inspired by two things
– a collection of Aboriginal fabrics
that I had purchased over time at
several quilt shows and by the many
beautiful medallion quilts, both
antique and modern, that I have seen
in books and on social media.
The picture above on the right shows
the first three months of the quilt
construction.

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.
