PS1 • Two
At A Time - A Reversible Quilt
$65.00
Friday, 3/16/07
6
hours 8:00 AM – 4:30
PM
Intermediate to Expert • Machine required
Do you hate basting quilts? Have too little time to hand quilt and are afraid
to try machine quilting? Then this is the quilt for you. As you piece the blocks
they are miraculously quilted at the same time. And, when you are finished, you
have TWO quilts - a different color on each side. The class covers the construction
of the basic block, how to join blocks together and reversible binding. In this
hands-on class, you will get a good start and learn everything you need to know
to finish your quilt.

PS3 • Sashiko
By Machine
$65.00
Sunday, 3/18/07
6
hours 8:30 AM – 4:30
PM
Intermediate • Machine required
Stencil
Fee: Optional
This is a non-traditional approach to a traditional needle
art form. My theory is that if it can be done by hand, it can be done
by machine and sashiko is no exception. Originating as the “common” man's
garment decoration, sashiko has been adopted by quilters to add exciting
designs to their quilt tops and garments. Using your sewing machine
and heavy weight threads learn to achieve this stunning embellishment
on either a single thickness of fabric or through a quilt sandwich.
