This class is a follow up to our Beginning Quilting Part 1 where we cut and pieced our quilt top. In this class we will learn to select and cut backing & binding, do basic machine quilting with a walking foot, and get started on binding our quilt for a beautiful finish. The perfect next step for anyone who has taken Part 1, but also great for anyone who wants to learn to finish their quilts on their domestic machine.

In  August we'll make a tool organizer that sits on your sewing table to keep everything handy!  We'll provide the acrylic stand - you just bring three coordinating fat quarters, coordinating thread, your machine and tools!  In October we'll do a small tote bag with applique that would be a fantastic trick-or-treat bag!  A perfect project for your budding sewist to do with you!  And in December we'll make some fun folded coasters that make quick and easy gifts! Come have fun with a make and take project you can complete in an afternoon while learning new skills! Beginner level so come with your budding sewist or just by yourself! Every other month on the 2nd Saturday from 2-5pm. Details on future projects coming soon!

Come out and join us for an afternoon of fabric strips, games and laughter as we play Quilter's "Strip" Poker! You don't need to know anything about poker - we'll teach you! And instead of playing for money, we will be playing for strips of fabric. This is a great chance to shake up your strip stash. If you don't have any fabric to "ante", you can purchase some at the shop that day. It will be a fantastic, fun time with friends, games and snacks! $15 per person and dive into your stash for twenty or twenty-five (at least!) 2.5" strips. Great way to clear out your stash or, who knows? You could come home with a bundle!

The Luminary quilt by Jamie Swanson is a spectacular modern improv take on the classic lone star quilt. It looks complicated, but the strip piecing techniques used make it very simple. In this two day class with Kris you will learn how to create this wonderful quilt! An acrylic template for cutting the diamonds is included in the class cost
