Paper Piecing with Janet Bailey

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $75, lunch included

Foundation piecing is a traditional method that's had a dramatic rebirth since the early 1990s. Miniature quilt enthusiasts were among the first to rediscover foundation piecing, because when the method is done correctly, blocks are perfect every time, even when they are sewn with tiny patches. Strait of Georgiawith Bev Stellges

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $75, lunch included

This is an easy pattern by MLiss Rae Hawley that takes 6 fat quarters and a background fabric for a wonderful, pleasing quilt. For our quilt we used a variety of post Civil War fabrics and two background fabrics, but it could just as easily be made with only one background fabric. Do you have some winter fabrics to showcase or batiks or any coordinating fabrics? Just six fat quarters! English Paper Piecing with Holly Waite Mineau

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $50, lunch included

4 Patch Poseywith Pat Flath

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $75, lunch included

Make this gorgeous and unique quilt using only one fabric. You have seen this quilt and variants of it through the years. It is a form of a Stack n Whack but uses only 4 layers. And it is only a 4-patch you cant get any easier than a 4-patch. There are lots of variation options in the pattern to help you make all kinds of wonderful quilts. So let your creative juices flow as you chose your fabric and do your planning. But DONT agonize over the fabric selection. If you follow the information in the supplies list, you cant choose a fabric that wont work. Looks Like Fallwith Mardee Cooke

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $75, lunch included

What looks more like our beautiful season than pumpkins resting along a wood rail fence, topped by a big, black crow. The scene is accented with a sawtooth border and completed with a colorful outer border. Finished project size is 22 x 28 which is perfect for a door banner or small wall hanging. You probably wont quite finish it in class, but you will have instruction to complete it at home. Bring in the season with this fusible project!

Stash Box Quiltwith Bev Stellges

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $75, lunch included

Nuggets of beauty are hidden in stash fabrics. Discover their treasure in simple boxes of fabric while creating the Stash Box Quilt, a design by Four Corners Design. Perhaps your nuggets are batiks, perhaps they are a stash of vegetables and fruits that you want to present in a garden. Discover your nuggets and present them in this easy to make quilt. Can be made in a variety of sizes.

BQ Quiltwith Pat Flath

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $75, lunch included

This is the quilt pattern to go to when you need a quick present. It is a tried and true, immediate gratification kind of strip piecing pattern. The trick is that you are letting the fabric do all the work. This quilt pattern works best with big prints. You know, the type - the kind of fabric that you hate to cut because most strip piecing patterns just don't display how gorgeous they are. We have seen it made with Hawaiian shirts! We have made it with directional prints. The pattern contains two block sizes - 18 inch block and a 9 inch block.

Appliquwith Mardee Cooke

Time: 9:00am-4:00pmCost: $75, lunch included

This is a wonderful quilt to make in any number of color combinations. All you need are a variety of fabrics in two-three basic color families and an appliqu design that fits with them. The three shown here are a woodsy theme in rusts, reds and greens with a bear appliqu; a Christmas theme done in reds and greens with a tree appliqu; and a 30-s theme with a flower and butterfly. The quilt is basically constructed from a quick and easy multi-colored nine patch with six appliqu designs. The finished size of the bear and Christmas quilt is 52 x 64 and you can include a pieced or solid border. The 30s theme quilt has 12 applique designs and measures approximately 56 x 76. The size of the quilt is affected by the number and width of the borders.
