Rag Basket
- Apr 10, 2019 10:00 am
“Rag Basket” may be a misleading name for these lovely bowls! Rag bowls have been made since the beginning of time, it seems. They have found some form of bowls that are wrapped into a coil in many archeological digs, that go back for centuries. In more recent history, rag bowls were made in Appalachia along with rag rugs that were known to hold up over time. Rag bowls are sturdy, versatile and fun to make. This class will provide instructions for making a small bowl and hopefully have you leaving with your bowl and all you need to make more. Be careful - it is addictive, but if you are a quilter and/or sewing "nut", you know all about that!!! One very good thing is that it allows you to use up scraps of material that you might otherwise just have sitting around the house.

Rag Basket
- May 11, 2019 02:30 pm
“Rag Basket” may be a misleading name for these lovely bowls! Rag bowls have been made since the beginning of time, it seems. They have found some form of bowls that are wrapped into a coil in many archeological digs, that go back for centuries. In more recent history, rag bowls were made in Appalachia along with rag rugs that were known to hold up over time. Rag bowls are sturdy, versatile and fun to make. This class will provide instructions for making a small bowl and hopefully have you leaving with your bowl and all you need to make more. Be careful - it is addictive, but if you are a quilter and/or sewing "nut", you know all about that!!! One very good thing is that it allows you to use up scraps of material that you might otherwise just have sitting around the house.

Introduction to Machine Quilting
- May 19, 2019 01:00 pm
Love to piece quilt tops, but too intimidated to try to quilt them yourself? This class is for the very beginner. We will cover the basics: marking your quilt top, stitching in the ditch, following a design, and free motion stitching. We?ll be using a pre-printed panel to minimize preparation time and maximize learning. The panel is large enough to allow for continued practice at home. Please note that this class requires that you have two specialty feet for your particular machine: a walking foot and a free-motion or darning foot. If you can?t find them locally, you may have to special order the feet for your machine, so be sure to allow time for their delivery. In the first lesson we will cover machine quilting with the walking foot, and free motion quilting in the second lesson.
