Lone Star Quilt

One of the most recognized of all quilt patterns, the Lone Star made the old fashioned way was difficult because of the bias-cut diamonds. Now you can make it without measuring any angles or using templates. You bring your own fabric. The kit includes the fusible backing and directions. (If additional time is needed to finish the quilt, sewing time will be 2 hours for $5 at a later scheduled date, or you may finish it at home.) This is a six hour class for students with some previous machine sewing and rotary cutting experience. Ages 12 and older.

Irish Chain Quilt

Want more of a challenge? The Irish chain quilt is for you. It looks impossible with its 1 inch squares; however, it is all done with strip piecing. This is an intermediate pattern, but can be tackled by a beginner who is not afraid of "nesting seams". You may bring your own fabric or purchase the kit. It includes fabric for the top. Batting and backing fabric are available at an additional cost. This is a seven hour class for students with some previous machine sewing and rotary cutting experience. (If additional time is needed to finish the quilt, sewing time will be 2 hours for $5 on another date.) Ages 12 and older.

Drag-A-Fuzzy Rag Quilt or Easy Rag Quilt

(If additional time is needed to finish the quilt, sewing time will be 2 hours for $5 on another date.)

Class time will not allow quilting to be done, but you can come back during the Open Sewing time on Tuesdays nights to finish your quilts with a reservation. This is a 6 hour class for ages 12 and older. (If additional time is needed to finish the quilt top, sewing time will be 2 hours for $5 on another date.)

This is a three hour class for students with some previous machine sewing experience. Limit four per class ages 12 and older.

Baby Quilt Class – Part I

If you are looking for a mother/daughter class, this is it! Mom makes a baby quilt or a small throw quilt and daughter makes a doll quilt. If the daughter is older, both can make the throw quilt. Students will learn how to use a rotary cutter and how to piece the top. It is a three week, two hours per week class. Ages 12 and older.
