| Setting up for all of us shoppers! |
Workshops start on Monday - It's never too late to sign up, many of these workshops have a very short supply list! Here's the list--
Monday
Joining the Blocks: Quilt-As-You-Go Style
Learn to join pre-quilted blocks using several innovative
techniques. Go home ready to make larger machine quilted quilts without all the
work of trying to get it into your machine. The Quilt-As-You-Go method allows
for more detailed quilting using a standard sewing machine since you're only
quilting a small section at a time.
Super Fast Binding and Piping!
Is binding the quilt your least favorite part? Tired of
humdrum finishes? Come and learn piping and binding techniques to make your
quilts stand out in a crowd. In class you will be making samples of finishing
methods to take home and use on your own quilts. Bindings will never be boring
again!
Tuesday
Paint Glorious Paint
Come play where the possibilities are endless and rules are
few. Fabric paints enrich your projects before you begin sewing—or after. We
will use stencils, rubber stamps and finger painting techniques to make
ourselves look like a room full of Picassos. This is magic is waiting to happen!
Wednesday
A Fine Line: Creating the Quilting Design
Bring your unfinished quilt top to show the class and we

your project’s beauty with the creative use of the quilted line. Discover the
elements of award-winning quilting designs and how to apply them to your tops.
Thursday

buy, how to sew them and how to make your own lavish beaded dangles and
fringes.
