Calendar

Join Barb in this new, all day free-style class. Spend the day in our large classroom, working on the project of your choice and in the company of other quilters. During June, July and August many will be working on a bargello pattern of their own choosing! This would be a fun time to think about making a bargello quilt or wallhanging if you've never done one before. Students are of course free to work on any other project that they might be interested in, as this is a time to have fun sewing in the company of fellow sewers!

A quilting group for those interested in more modern styles of quilts. Everyone will be working on the pattern of his/her choice. A good pattern line to get started with is Jaybird Quilt designs. Mary will give you instruction and encouragement as needed. This is an ongoing group with enthusiastic people who welcome newcomers at any time. Store Sample is "Pattern Play" by Pat Bravo in American Patchwork& Quilting June2014 You may get a digital copy of this older pattern by going to the magazine website and ordering the June 2014 issue online. It is a great modern pattern using only one block. There are so many color options for this dramatic and happy quilt. Make it any size you wish.

Half Square Triangle Fiesta: 3-Day camps offer the best opportunity to get a lot done. Half square triangles are such a basic building block in quilting that it is helpful to know the various methods to make them. In Day 1 you will learn 4 different methods to cut HST's with a variety of tools. Day 2 will find you sewing the blocks. Day 3 will highlight how to design your own quilt with the blocks you have made. Each person will receive a free booklet full of resource materials and block patterns. This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself to master the glorious HST and to learn to design a quilt of your very own.
