Constructing this adorable fan quilt with absolutely no curved piecing or appliqué will make you love them even more! Choose “kitty” colors or select a vibrant array of fabrics to spark it up a bit. The goal for this 1/2 day class is to finish two cat blocks, one left-facing and one right-facing. And when the quilt is finished, you can cuddle with all your favorite felines and not be covered in fur! Skills Taught: New technique for constructing fan blocks Supply List: Yes Pre-Class Prep: No Additional Class Fee: $10 for pattern 102 Friday Morning 9 a.m. to Noon Stained Glass Pickup Skill Level: Beginner Sticks© Instructor: Debby Kratovil Method: Machine [email protected] Piecing Project Size: 54” by 64” Project Rating: Easy Lap Quilt or 28” by 48” Table Runner This is a “no template” quilt using only pre-cut 10- 1/2” squares. (If you have a stack of 10” squares, they will also work with this particular pattern.) Beginning with stacks of squares and a rotary cutter, you will slice and shuffle your stacks, and sew them together with skinny strips to simulate stained glass. No bias edges, no funky cutting techniques – just straight cuts and easy sewing. A set of four squares will yield four blocks. Block size is approximately 10” finished. Skills Taught: No template rotary cutting Supply List: Yes Pre-Class Prep: No Additional Class Fee: No 103 Friday Morning Note: 4-hour Class 8 a.m. to Noon Border Patrol Skill Level: Intermediate Instructor: Deloa Jones Method: Hands-On [email protected] Longarm Project Size: Not Applicable Project Rating: Moderate As a longarm quilter, Deloa doesn’t turn her quilts to quilt side borders -- it is too much work, bother, and time -- so she developed many simple free- motion designs that can be done in the borders and in sashings. Learn how to space your borders and turn the corners. You will learn a very simple, easy, and fast way to do your sashings continuously with very few starts and stops. There are 25+ simple designs for the beginner to help you get started in your free-motion border adventure on a longarm quilting machine. Skills Taught: Free motion longarm quilting Supply List: No Pre-Class Prep: No Additional Class Fee: $100 hands-on longarm practice 127 Friday Morning 9 a.m. to Noon Studio Skill Level: All Instructor: Patsy Hartnett Method: Student’s Choice Project Size: NA Project Rating: NA Studio is designed for students who want time to do their own thing. You bring your own projects, and Patsy will be on hand to assist you with hints, tips, and techniques when you need a helping hand. Studio is also offered Saturday and Sunday. Skills Taught: Assistance available in a variety of skills. Supply List: No Pre-Class Prep: No Additional Class Fee: No Friday Afternoon Classes 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 104 Friday Afternoon 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Hand Appliqué by Machine Skill Level: Confident Beginner Instructor: Erin Underwood Method: Machine [email protected] Appliqué Project Size: 16” by 18” Project Rating: Moderate Love the look of hand appliqué but just don’t have the time for handwork? Try this technique that makes your machine appliqué look as if it was done by hand but only takes a fraction of the time. Learn all about the tricks and tools you need for success. Your quilt will look like you sat for hours and needle-turned each piece. Skills Taught: Blind hem stitch for machine appliqué, introduction to washable freezer paper Supply List: Yes Pre-Class Prep: No Additional Class Fee: $3 for pattern and freezer- paper templates 105 Friday Afternoon 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Coffee Filter Fans Skill Level: Beginner Instructor: Debby Kratovil Method: Machine, [email protected] Foundation Pieced Project Size: 6” blocks; Project Rating: Easy most students opt for a 12-20 block project No kidding! You really can paper piece on large coffee filters. They are just convenient circles, which we divide, mark and use as a paper foundation. The four-blade fan is finished NOT with a quarter circle base, but with an easy to sew triangle. And the best part is Debby’s EZ method for turning the curved edge of the fan under and attaching by machine. No handwork at all. Debby brings all coffee filters for students. Skills Taught: Accurate paper piecing with Debby’s EZ method, block base finishing with triangle instead of traditional 1/4 circle, no curved sewing to finish the curved edge (honest – you use a facing technique), simple machine zig zag stitch to secure the fan block to background fabric. Supply List: Yes Pre-Class Prep: Optional; if pre- cutting is done ahead of time, many blocks can be finished Additional Class Fee: $3 for patterns and coffee filters for 16 to 20 blocks 106 Friday Afternoon Note: 4-hour Class 1:30 to 5:30 Quilt Me a Garden Skill Level: Intermediate Instructor: DeLoa Jones Method: Hands-On [email protected] Longarm Project Size: NA Project Rating: Moderate Finally, flowers in my house that won’t die. Even if you don’t have a green thumb, with some very simple shapes and techniques, you can quilt beautiful flowers that you can use in motifs, wreaths, and overalls. Deloa will teach you several leaf vines for borders and sashings. Your flower arrangements will only be limited by your imagination. Skills Taught: Free motion longarm flowers Supply List: No Pre-Class Prep: No Additional Class Fee: $100 for hands-on longarm practice 128 Friday Afternoon 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
