Class and Event Calendar

Have you always wanted to learn how to quilt? Our beginner class is a four session class (Ten full hours of instruction!) designed to take you through ALL the steps of making a quilted table runner. We will be using the Daydream Quilted Table Runner pattern by Pink Sand Beach Designs as our guide for easy to follow along directions and illustrations.The pattern is available for purchase at our shop and is required for the class. We will be making a 16" x 48" sized quilted table runner, this is a more manageable size project for beginners. Our goal is to make quilting stress free and fun so that you leave the class dreaming up your next quilt!

Learn the basics of free motion quilting in a simplified easy to understand method. This class is a starting point for quilters that have tried free motion quilting and gave up in frustration. Students will need to have a machine capable of free motion quilting with the correct feet for the job; YOU will also need to have a good knowledge of how to use your machine especially the free motion setting and how to adjust your tension. This is a two day class, a week apart for 2 hours each time. (Four Hours of Instruction) You will learn the basics in the first class. A little practice homework during the week and the last class we will take the basics we have practiced and turn them into quilt patterns. This is a beginner/intermediate class for students who have attempted free motion quilting on their home machine and have some knowledge of how to work the free motion setting on their machine.

I get lots of requests on how I bind a quilt. How do you get crisp pointed corners? How do I join the binding ends correctly? What stitch do I use on the back of my binding ? I have put together this class to share my techniques and whether you are new to quilting or just want to improve your binding skills this class will make you a better binder! If you are a Janome or Elna Sewing Machine Owner I can share my favorite method of machine binding with your Blind Hem Foot(G Foot) too!
