1876 in January 2017





We'll be talking 1876 on Monday January 30th - have you been thinking about this quilt?  Hopefully it hasn't been keeping you up nights...or at least not yet!  This project has been known to take on a life of it's own, and we're sharing a few comments from some of the current students, who are nearing completion of their versions of the 1876 quilt.

"This is the most amazing quilt - not only is it historic and gorgeous, but you will learn everything there is to know about quilting in the process.  I have so appreciated Anne's skill as a knowledgeable, friendly and fun teacher!"  Shiela B.

"Anne's 1876 quilt class has taught me so many quilting skills.  She used a variety of techniques with tips that challenged this 40 year quilter in new ways.  Anne's endless abilities are incredibly helpful and she is incredibly motivated to give personal assistance.  I highly recommend this challenge if you are interested in improving your piecing skills.  The camaraderie that has evolved from our cohort class experience has been treasured."  Laurie L.

"When I joined Anne and our original 1876 quilt group I barley knew how to sew, much less piece together a quilt.  I didn't even know what WOF meant!  Now, nearing completion of an incredible quilt top, I can say that I am a confident sewer, able to tackle most any quilting challenge.  Anne's guidance and support during this journey has been incredible.  The teaching materials and lessons she developed are superb; even as a novice, I have been able to understand and follow all cutting and piecing instructions with absolutely no difficulty.  I cannot recommend more highly the opportunity to work and study with Anne as she puts together another group who will learn how to recreate the spectacular 1876 quilt."  Carol S.

If you think this project is for you - please give us a call or email and we'll get you all the details for Monday's informational meeting!  Distance learning is an option so please consider joining the project even if you're not close enough to make the classes regularly.
