Quilt as You Go

Tuesday February 15

9:00 – 3:00

$25.00

Does quilting “on-the-go” appeal to you?  The quilt-as-you go approach enables today’s busy quilt maker to quilt a piece in smaller segments and then put those together to complete a quilt.  When done properly these methods will not show from the front and can add interesting design detail to the quilt back. Quilting smaller units by hand or machine keeps the work in manageable sizes and facilitates the quilting process. The time and effort required to assemble the pre-quilted units is certainly far less than the time needed for

Handpiecing Charm Quilts

Thursday February 24

9:30 – 11:30

$15.00 + $10.00 fabric kit

A hand piecing project is a perfect way to relax in the evenings or keep your fingers busy while you wait for whatever it is you have to wait for.   The shape used in this charm quilt is called the "apple core".  Charm quilts were popular in the late 1800's with young girls who traded and collected as many different prints as possible to create these quilts that are an exciting record of the prints available in that period.   A starter kit of 25 blue and brown prints is included in the class fee.  All you need to bring are rotary cutting supplies, hand sewing needles, a thimble if you have one, and gray 100% cotton thread.

Machine Quilting in Sections

Thursday February 24

1:00 – 4:00

$25.00

Quilting a large quilt in several smaller units and joining the sections together makes the task of machine quilting at home a more manageable task.  Some of the techniques work for hand quilters who wish to work in smaller units.  This workshop will give your hands-on experience with the finishing techniques in Marti Michell’s book as you make a technique sampler using 3 of the finishing techniques from the book.  This experience will help you decide which techniques work best for your style of quilting and give you the confidence to try it for yourself.  Bring a current large quilt project for a discussion time at the end of the workshop about how to divide it into manageable sections and what finishing techniques to use.  This is not a machine quilting class.
