EVERGREEN TABLE RUNNER OR WIND BLOWN QUILT
You can choose between these two projects because they both use the same ruler:
EVERGREEN
In reds and greens, this is the perfect centerpiece for holiday decorating. Or, change the color-way and give it a cottage or lodge feel so you can use it all year round. At 20 x 40, it is also the perfect size for a kitchen island.

In this quilt, it's all about tossing leaves this way and that. Using nine fat quarters, a background and the ruler you'll have a pile of leaves to put your quilt together. Quilt measures: 55 x 70

CLASS (3 WEEKENDS)
QUILTING 101 - Sophie's Delight
If you've wanted to learn to quilt, here's your chance. Aneda and Joanna will be here over the course of three weekends showing you how to choose fabric, quilting tool basics - using a rotary cutter, ruler and mat together to cut block pieces, how to sew "quilters" seams using the proper measurement and different techniques. Of course they'll be throwing in tips and tricks too.
While this is beginning quilting, you need to know how to use your sewing machine BEFORE class. You do not have to know all the in’s and out’s, but please come to class knowing at the very least how to turn your machine on, thread your machine and wind a bobbin. Also, quilting is based on using a 1/4” seam, so please make sure your machine has a 1/4” foot.
We require a minimum of 4 students (maximum 6) for this class to happen.

- Pre-class homework: At the end of each class, instructions for pre-cutting supplies for the next class will be given. So yes, there’s some homework.
