We have scheduled our next series of classes for the fall. The popular sweatshirt jacket class is scheduled for November 12, Monday, at 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm or in the evening, 6 pm - 9 pm. The cost for the class is $25 plus supplies. We have sewing machines available for students. Many of the ladies made a jacket to support their favorite college team but also learned the jacket making process to make a quilted jacket for every day wear.
Sewers are invited to a wool applique/penny rug class on November 13 at 6:30 pm. The class is $25 and the kit is included in the class fee. Students will learn the history of the penny rug and work on completing a winter poinsettia penny rug table runner. This class is sometimes referred to our "Fun Nite".
If any quilter is interested in learning machine free motion quilting/stippling and binding; an early morning class is scheduled for November 13 at 8 am to 10 am. Class fee is $25 and this includes a learning kit and monofilament thread. We have machines in the shop for students but it is suggested you bring your machine from home. This way you know how or if your home machine can stipple.
Cheri will be having a beginner hand quilting, piecing and applique class beginning the first of the year. This is a series class. I will keep you posted when I get more info from Cheri on costs and how many Saturdays. Cheri is in the shop on Tuesday if you would like to speak with her personally with any questions.
Norma is also working on a Bible Quilt for the first of the year. It too will be one Saturday a month. Blocks from the Bible Quilt are on display in the shop. Norma works Fridays and is very helpful with your machine quilting questions.
