Ties that Bind
Be
intrigued with the color and design potential of this simple
block. The Bow Tie has been a favorite of quiltmakers for over
one hundred years. You can translate your original ideas into
quilts. Quilltmakers are bound by a collective understanding and
appreciation of traditional work. These Bow Tie quilts will be a
link in an unbroken chain that began in the 1880’s. The
dimensional center of the bow adds extra interest.
The Old is New Again Hand Piecing Friendship Star
Travel
back in time to how our ancestors pieced their quilts. Use this
heritage pattern, Friendship Star, to learn how to piece by hand.
Take the time to carefully cut and mark the pieces for great
results. This is a wonderful project to take with you as you go
about your busy day. Of course, once you learn to hand piece, you
can use this technique for any quilt pattern.
Dancing Stars
Start
with the traditional Rail Fence pattern using three or five
fabrics. Add a slash of contrasting fabric, making a star when
four blocks are combined. The Dancing Star design is a quick way
to make a charming baby quilt, a lap quilt, or full size quilt.
This makes a great top for a gift such as a wedding present.
Flowers Go South
In this hands- on class students will learn how to make folded flowers. You will also learn how to enhance these flowers by adding paints, beads, and pearls.
In addition to flowers, you will learn to make yo-yos and three-dimensional leaves. Used as adornment on a garment, these flowers can transform something simple into something stunning.
KITS ARE AVAILABLE: $20
Now You See It, Now You Don’t - Winding Ways
Take

can bring this early pattern into the modern age. After mastering
the basics, venture out and express your own ideas. A secondary
variation will be presented in class.
