Classes

We have offered classes on several different forms of fabric dyeing, jacket and purse classes, as well as Celtic applique and the "Stack and Whack" method. We also offer tips at our first Thursday small groups and during the regular meetings on whatever the Block of the Month may be. Check out our current Class page for more information.

 

Block of the Month from 2007

Block of the Month

Every month Deb King presents us with a different block to complete. She prepares packs of fabric and instructions and then does a keep "walk-thru" of the steps needed to complete the block. Go to our Block of the Month page to see the ones that have been completed recently. Last year we used one of the quilts - shown at the left - for our raffle quilt. This year one of the blocks each month is being placed into a quilt that will be raffled off at out quilt show this year.

 

Mystery

Last year we did a mystery quilt and had so much fun we are doing it again this year. How the mystery quilt works (for us) is that over a four-month period you are given part of the instructions to make the quilt. The first month, you receive fabric amounts, some suggestions for how to pick out your fabric, some cutting instructions, and a very few sewing instrcutions. Over the next two months, you receive more sewing instructions. The last month you receive the final assembly instructions and get to see what the original quilt looked like when it was completed. Please go to our Mystery page to see both last year's and this year's quilt instructions. But if you really want to try it as we did, don't peek at the last month until you are ready for it!
