We are repeating this popular class. We will not complete a quilt top in this class. We will only complete 7 blocks in class and you will work on completing the quilt top at home. We learn by repetition, so this class reinforces cutting accurately, sewing accurate 1/4” seams, and pressing so that your work lays flat. This class does not include adding borders. We offer another class that teaches adding borders, choosing quilting designs, etc.

We believe in having as much information as possible when we approach a new pattern. This class offers an opportunity to learn the many different ways of making the Flying Goose block. Pattern designers often have a favorite method of construction and that will be the only way they suggest. Unfortunately, it is often not the fastest or easiest way to piece the Flying Goose unit. Once you have these options to choose from, you may recognize an easier way to make a pattern. We will provide a free pattern to turn your blocks into an attractive table runner.

This is one of Linda’s all-time favorite designs, and has been on her “I Have to make this quilt before I DIE” list for a long time. The traditional 7 Sisters quilt can be very challenging to piece. Marti Michell has simplified the design (eliminating all the set in seams!) made templates for accurate cutting, and the directions are clear & easy to follow, so NOW making this beautiful star quilt quite easy. This quilt lends itself well to either a scrappy or a single color design. We are making this a 2-day event so that all the pieces can be cut, (we will be using quick cutting techniques to speed this along) labeled and bagged before you begin sewing. This eliminates the annoyance of having to stop sewing and cut a few more pieces. The quilt finishes at 64” x 85-1/2”.

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.
