A Preview of Autumn 2013 Class Projects!
A number of quilters have already dropped by the shop to sign up for classes
and to view the class projects.
We would
like to give you a preview of the Autumn 2013 projects.
First, here are the first projects for each
of our
Weekly Quilting Classes.
The
Intermediate and Advanced
classes will start out with a simpler project to tune up your skills: a set of
placements called Take Four.
You will
probably finish the set during class so Sue will be prepared to help show you how
to quilt one of your placemats.
Farmer’s Wife was such a hit
class last year that Sue is teaching it again.
We have a picture of Sue’s now-completed quilt made with Reproduction fabrics.
Sue is already making another one with more
modern fabrics and a picture of some of those blocks follows.
Carolyn’s
Beginners Class will
start with the Bricklayer’s Daughter Tablerunner.
Sue is teaching a class featuring some of Judy Niemeyer’s paper piecing
patterns called
Judy Niemeyer Club.
You get to pick one of eight patterns.
We have samples of most of the patterns on
display in the shop: Compass Rose, Cactus Flower, Arizona Cactus, Feathered
Star and Snowflakes.
The other three patterns
which may be selected for the class are: Cappuccino, Sunflower Illusions, and
Summer Solstice.
Sarah will be teaching the first of our Weekend Workshops.
Her first class uses Deb Tucker’s V-Block
template to create a pattern titled
Victorious.
Sue is teaching
Stargello which
can be finished as either a table topper or a Christmas Tree skirt.
Machine Quilting I provides an
excellent foundation to the world of machine quilting.
Machine Quilting II explores the
world of free motion quilting.
Machine Quilting III and IV
journey outside the box with zig-zag appliqué and free-motion, echo quilting.
October begins with a Saturday class during which Sue will teach you the
secrets of making one of the most popular quilt patterns:
Colorsplash.
Bring a bit of Italy home!
The
Bargello quilt pattern is inspired by the
well-known style of needlework found on the chairs in the Bargello Palace in
Florence, Italy.
Judy Niemeyer applied her paper-piecing techniques to the classic
Double Wedding Ring design.
Sue will show you how this simplifies all those
curves.
The foliage will have faded by the beginning of November so our thoughts
will of course turn to …
Christmas Tree
Skirts.
Pick-up Sticks is a great way to
use scraps, charm packs or layer cakes.
Just add an accent color and it’s magic!
Woodpile Sampler is a must-have
traditional quilt—stunning and beautiful.
Sarah taught the first Weekend Workshop so it’s only fitting that she return
to wrap up the season with our only December class.
She will show you how to make perfect points
with Deb Tucker’s Corner Beam template and show them off in a gorgeous quilt
called
North Star.
More soon at Threading the News.
Yours in Quilting,
Sue and Staff
