    Presentation - Lone Star-style quilts

    Presentation - Lone Star-style quilts


    April 15, 2023

    It's never been easier to make Lone Star-style quilts!

    Shelley has simplified the intricate-looking traditional design by breaking it into easy-to-piece units, without a set-in seam or bias edge in sight. No using templates or cutting angled pieces from strip sets either. Instead, each of the eight designs begins with familiar stitch-and-flip units that are then sewn into blocks. Yes, blocks! From there, arrange blocks to create a variety of stellar designs that even a novice can complete with ease. If you can stitch on a marked line, you're ready to make these heavenly quilts!

    Every Last Crumb, An Adventure in Scrap Quilting with Brita Nelson


    January 20, 2024

    This is a fun, informative and inspirational trek to find the best way to handle a mountain of left-over fabric.  I had over 30 years worth of accumulated scraps which threatened to take over my sewing room and consume me.  I had to do something.  Some of you may have the same problem.  Here is how I managed to save myself and actually make some room in my fabric closet. With over two dozen quilts and projects, I will demonstrate some great ways to use that secret treasure hiding in your house.  I will also cover basic color and contrast principles to make your scrap beauties really shine.

    Crumbs to Quilt


    January 20, 2024

    “Crumbs to Quilts” a 4 hour workshop where you will learn how to turn the tiniest scraps into a beautiful, quilt.
    Have you ever thought about making your own fabric?  In this class we will discuss tint, tone, shade, value and scale to take your tiniest scraps and turn them into one-of-a-kind textiles. My simple, organized method for assembling your curated crumbs results in fabric that is part planned, part free-form and totally fun!
    We will use this new fabric to make a simple tulip block, but once you master this technique, there is no limit to what you can create.

     Workshop (Zoom): 12:30 pm EST- 4:30 pm EST

    Members: $30
    Non-members: $35
