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.
