MarchThe Beachcomber Jacket from Edyta Sitar!
When: Wednesday, March 3 Time: 4:00-8:00pm 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 March 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 or two sizes 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. Please bring your scrap leftovers. Sign up early to get your pattern and start on your stars! 
Makers Tote
Saturday, March 13 10:30-3:00 $35.00 includes pattern This is the perfect tote for carrying projects to and fro. Lined with pockets on the inside as well as pockets on the outside, this is the most functional bag around. Also works great as an everyday purse. Students will have some homework so please sign up early 
Storm on the Lake Tablerunner
Wednesday, March 17 4:00-7:00pm $40 includes ruler and pattern This is the perfect opportunity to make the Storm at Sea block with ease. Students will learn how to use the Square in Square ruler to create perfect 3" or 6" blocks. An added bonus is the paper pieced diamonds that make perfect diamonds every time. Plus, it only requires three fabrics to make choosing easier. |
