Weekend Workshops
Sue teaches an exciting new pattern called Bargello Pinwheel on Saturday, September 10—or you could make any of the other bargello patterns available in the shop.  Or grab one of the dozens of colorways of Sue’s Color Splash bundles!

Sue O’Dea will teach a very attractive and useful Ruler and Mat Bag on Saturday, September 24.

Fandance is a scrap-happy pattern inspired by a photo in a magazine.  But Sue invented a new, quilter-friendly technique and will teach her secret method on Saturday, October 1.

Carolyn teaches Machine Quilting I—Straight Line Quilting on Sunday, October 2 and Machine Quilting II—Free Motion & Advanced Designs on Sunday, October 30.

Carolyn teaches a new, very precise appliqué technique to make a November Pumpkin tablerunner on Saturday, October 8.

Deb teaches a new technique for curvy piecing to make a Mini Pumpkin Wallhanging on Saturday, October 22.

Sue teaches a fun pattern called Stormy Trip on Saturday, October 29.  Sue’s sample has been quilted but still needs a binding.  Here is a photo of the pattern.

Deb returns on Saturday, November 5 to teach Spring Flowers.  Her sample is almost done and we will post a photo when it is done because the black and gray photo from the pattern does not even hint at how pretty this fun project can be.

Sue will teach a delightful giraffe wallhanging or crib quilt called Lanky Patch on Saturday, November 6.

Carolyn teaches Tumbling Triangles in any of six sizes on Saturday, November 26.

Sue wraps up the classes on Saturday, December 3 teaching another new technique, quilt-as-you-go Piece by Number Placemats.
