anywhere you want to provide a cozy accent. New
techniques will be shared to make your chenille
project quick and easy. You may purchase soft silk
flowers and disassemble prior to class or you may
order a kit of prepared assorted flower petalsand
leaves for $10.00. Pattern required ($8.00).
Cotton Theory:
Learn this popular “quilt as you go” technique from a
Certified Cotton Theory instructor. You will make a
table runner in the fun class. We will discuss
sandwiching and quilting individual “logs” for the
piece, and connecting the logs using the fold and
finish method created by Betty Cotton. Upon
completion of your project, you will have a quilted,
reversible table runner. Pattern is required ($10.00)
Kit optional but encouraged ($45.00).

Do you love the look of appliqué but don't enjoy needle turn
or machine appliqué? Try this technique for a beautiful wall
hanging (36" x 36"). Fusible appliqué is so much fun - fuse
the pieces, border with scrappy log cabin blocks and send
the top to your quilter; the stitching of the petals and leaves
is completed during the quilting process. Of course, if you
enjoy thread painting, that can also be done. Kits available
but optional. Pattern required ($12)
Quilt
Cajun Crossing is a
simple and quick pattern
that can be completed
using strip piecing
techniques. Put in on
point or straight set - the
choice is yours. We will
discuss both processes.
Pattern required ($10)
Thread Painting
The student will learn how to embellish appliqué with
thread painting. Using fusible appliqué as a foundation,
we will paint with thread to enhance the project, creating
depth and dimension to the appliqué. The first half of the
class will be devoted to practicing free-motion
techniques on three projects. Next, each student will
thread paint a simple piece designed by the student using
appliqué shapes provided by the teacher. A required
supply fee of $15.00 per student covers the cost of 3
fabric kits which includes fusible web, 2 stabilizers and
the use of various decorative threads.
