Beginning Piecing with Jo Baner

I think the only thing better than receiving a lovingly, handmade quilt is giving one!  If you like to sew but have yet to try your hand at quilt making, now is the time!  Learn accurate and safe rotary cutting, color value, pressing vs. ironing, accurate 1/4" seam allowance and other quilt-piecing-basics in this two-part class with local artist and instructor, Jo Baner.  This two-part introduction to quilt piecing will have you well on your way to a completed quilt top and ready for more quilting activities!  Two 2-part sessions to choose from:
Saturday, February 2nd & 9th, 2019
OR
Thursday, March 7th & 14th, 2019

Speed Dating with Improv with Krista Hennebury

We're thrilled to host talented and published author, Krista Hennebury for a unique class.  Krista will be coming down from British Columbia for the day to share her expertise and creative energy.  Think of this class as speed dating with fast paced, fun improvisational piecing techniques that include curves and free-cutting.  Several techniques are introduced and demonstrated one after the other with very little time to second guess, stress or obsess over perfection.  Every student will end up with a unique, original quilt!
