strips are string pieced onto a paper foundation (which is also scrap!!) this quilt is so easy and works up in no time.

Disappearing 9 Patch Monday April 4 9:30 – 3:30 $35.00 This is a very east and fast quilt to make from one of the most popular
blocks. It starts with the standard nine patch which can be made in various sizes. I have used from 3 inches a
patch to 6 inches a patch and the main difference is how fast you want to make the quilt and how big you want the quilt to
be. Come and enjoy! Learn how to make a beautiful quilt in various styles. You will also be taught how to
make the quick and easy Seminole patch border which can be used on most any quilt. This class is great for quilters of all
levels and will make this one of their favorite patterns since it is easy fast, and beautiful! Instructor: Patsy Rothen

accent binding. You will use various free motion motifs for quilting. Instructor: B.J.Reed

Nosegay Thursday April
7 9:30-3:30 $30.00 (also sometimes called the Bride's Bouquet) is so appealing and now it’s a simpler
block to piece thanks to Marti Michell’s new Multi-sized Kite Ruler. If you already own Marti's Set E or the 2
1/2" Stripper Set, you have some of the templates to piece the block. By adding the new ruler, you can make
either 12" or 6" blocks with Set E or 9 1/2" blocks with the 2½ Stripper Set. And you don't
need to be afraid to try set-in piecing with these tools. Marti's exclusive trimmed corners make the blocks simpler than
they look! Instructor: Mary Huey
