Pretty pumped about the classes I'll be teaching at the shop this spring!!
The first is a DORM QUILT. It seems like a lot of people make graduation quilts for seniors that celebrate their previous 4-18 years. I say, why not give them something for their future!! Let them show you what colors + styles they like.
Make them something you know they will love and USE on a regular basis.
The design is SIMPLE, but allows for a bunch of prints (scrappy!) in any color combo. This is a smaller quilt I made a couple of years ago FOR FUN. We enhanced the design so it will fit a XL Twin Bed (dorm).
It would be a PERFECT class for someone who has never quilted. AND a really fast project for the advanced quilter:) The idea is that ANYONE can make it with little or no sewing/quilting experience.
The FIRST DAY is for fabric selection and cutting. I will help you pick a color palette (unless you already have one in mind), help you select your fabric and show you how to cut your fabric using a rotary cutter, ruler and self healing mat.
The SECOND DAY will be spent deciding on a quilt layout and assembling your quilt. You will learn piecing and ironing techniques. The beauty of this design is that there are no points to match up:) A BONUS for beginners!! You just have to sew a straight line;)
Then, you'll have 3 weeks to have your quilt quilted. We'll be offering an awesome deal for machine quilting services at the shop, so you don't have to worry about finding a quilter or doing it yourself....unless you want to of course!
The LAST DAY, I will show you how to add a binding to your quilt by machine and how to attach your binding to the back of your quilt by hand sewing. We will also have a QUILT LABEL workshop, so you can add something to the back that says something special or has a picture on it, fun!!
If you already know how to do all of this, THAT'S OK!!! Maybe you just need the push/motivation to finish a graduation quilt more than the day before the party;) Whatever the reason, it's gonna be fun and I'll look forward to seeing you there!!

April 4th, 11th and May 9th
