JanuaryQuick Curve Ruler Class

For this class, you pick your pattern, and I show you the magic of cutting and sewing the curves. Easy peasy! When: Saturday, January 9 Time: 10:30-12:30 Cost: $30 includes ruler or $15 if you already have the ruler |
FebruaryThe Beachcomber Jacket from Edyta Sitar!
When: Saturday, Feb. 13 Time: 10:30-3:00 Cost: $40 Includes pattern So many have asked for a quilted jacket class and I have finally found a pattern that I love! The class isn't until February because there are a good amount of star blocks to make before then. Students will need to come to class with their completed stars and a crew neck sweatshirt that is one size too big so that we can put the jacket together. The sweatshirt will act as the batting for our jacket, so we will be doing some quilting in class. Sign up early to get your pattern and start on your stars! |
