BASIC PAPER PIECING-
Every quilter must
have this basic technique in their quilting skills. Open up your
abilities to do so much more by knowing this technique, also known
as foundation piecing. If you can sew on a line, then you can do
this!

to 12 noon Cost $24
 BLOCK
'O' QUILT-
OSU fans! You’ve seen
the original quilt—and decided that you did not want to go to that
much effort! Well, along with Rita Bolton’s layout, I’ve come up
with a much easier pattern! You’ll combine some easy Quilt As You Go
piecing and the raggy look to make a nice couch throw. The best
thing is when you are done sewing, the quilt is done as well! GO
BUCKS!

 PUMPKIN
TABLERUNNER-
a great seasonal tablerunner (I’ll give you ideas to make
other seasons as well), and you’ll learn how to use the blanket
stitch on your machine or you can do it by hand. Make it in time to
use this fall.
Date: Monday, Sept.

 CHARMED,
I’M SURE –
An easy quilt just made
easier! Do you fret about accurate cutting and then the sewing? This
method takes all those fears away! Come learn this new trick and
again—use those beautiful charm packs, or raid your stash. A two
part class, the first class will feature laying out the quilt and
the second class will feature how to trim quilts done ‘on point’ and
how to add borders.

 CIRCLE
GAME-
another great kit I
found that includes the fabric (the circles are precut for you as
well), the pattern and the bias binding to make this darling kids
quilt. You can use your own fabric as well. Although I hand stitched
my binding down on the circles, I’ll also show you how to do it on
the machine. It does make a nice portable project though and the
kids will love it. You can even create some games to use it.
Date: Sat. Nov. 15
9 AM to 12 noon
Cost: $24
CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT RUNNER-
so easy to make using all
your favorite holiday fabrics. They would make great gifts too! Make
it as long or short as you like, make one and use is for a placemat.

Zoe is for rent!
You’ve
been asking for it and after doing some careful consideration, I’ve
decided to allow ‘Zoe’
(my HQ 16) to help you get your quilts finished. This class is a
REQUIREMENT before you can rent my machine. You’ll learn how to prepare
your quilt to be put on a Mid-arm machine, how to set up the machine,
load a quilt, what threads to use, etc. After you have taken the class,
you’ll be able to set up days to come in and quilt your own quilts.
Only paper and a pen to take notes are needed for this class.
There is a limit to 4 per class. Classes will be added as needed.

PURSE of the
MONTH
 CHARM
PURSE
–
What a raging success
this purse has been this spring/summer! The darling charm packs sold at
quilt shops make it easy to choose fabric (or you can make your own
‘charms’). I’ll show you how to make it your ‘own’ by varying the
sizes. You’ll also learn to put in a magnetic snap with ease.

stashbuster
club
Calling all quilter's who are busting out of the
seams with fabric and need to reduce it, somehow, someway! Get rid of
the guilt by using that stash. If you no longer like the fabric, but
can't quite throw it away, I'll be collecting quilts to be donated to a
charity. Let's get rid of the guilt and start sewing! I will be
presenting a new quilt each month to bust that stash and will show you
some new techniques that will cut your time down leaving you with time
to do the quilts you really want to do. Come join us on Saturday
mornings, I'll put on the coffee/tea and we'll whittle down that stash
yet!
Rules:
1. No NEW fabric allowed.
2. Sharing of fabric will be encouraged.
3. No making fun of others who have WAY too much
stash (I get my feelings hurt too easy- LOL)
4. This is supposed to be fun.
 STEPPING
STONES-another
Stashbuster class. A great looking quilt using up more scraps using a
free Quiltville pattern. You will also add two colors (I used black and
white) of your choice.
Date: Sat. Oct. 4
10 AM – 12 Noon $16
 CRUMBS
–
another
Stashbuster class and this again uses the smallest crumbs—it’s the last
of the food (fabric) chain before we throw it away. There are several
ways to use these blocks and I’ll give you several ideas in class. Be a
thrifty recycler and use up that fabric!
Date: Sat. Nov. 1

PATCH & PINWHEEL-
this
is a very popular and traditional pattern and of course, I made mine
from bright colors! But it is equally attractive in two color scrappy.
I used 5” charm squares for mine, but you can also use 2 ½” strips, plus
a some 5” squares. The goal is to dig into those scraps and make that
bin go down! Date:
Sat. Sept. 13 10 AM to 12 noon $16
