Crazy Quilts and More!

New classes always lend new inspiration to the store- and it's easy to get inspired from these projects!

We're excited to welcome Suz Litzsinger as a new teacher at Two Thimbles. She is teaching two classes this fall- one is a crazy quilt class and the other is a bag class.

Crazy in the 21st Century is a technique-based class, and focuses on two parts of crazy quilting: first, constructing blocks; and second, refining embellishment skills. There is also some discussion about planning for a final project. This full-day class is being offered twice- first on Sunday September 25th, and again on Thursday October 13th. Below are some finished projects by Suz- you can get an idea of the range of materials and embellishment techniques that are available in this type of quilting!


The second class is called Gypsy Carry-All. There are several options to create this bag: you can use panels or pieced blocks, either quilted or not- or if you happen to take the Crazy in the 21st Century class, you can use some of your embellished crazy blocks! This class focuses on the construction of the bag, with several size options, so bring your blocks to class ready-made and spend the day stitching everything together! The class is being offered on Sunday November 6th.



We do have samples on display at the store now- you'll have to come see these fabulous creations for yourself! Alternative dates will be considered, so please contact us if one or both of these classes sparks your interest and we can try to accommodate requests. Space is limited- let us know soon if you'd like to participate or have other questions!

Also, just a reminder - there is a spot available in Reynola Pakusich's workshop Contemporary Storm at Sea coming up in September. This class will be a lot of fun and the final product, which is now hanging in the store, is just gorgeous- so please let us know soon if you'd like to take part!

Happy Stitching!
